Introducing Associate Member Ali Gibson

Each month we will be focusing on one of our Associate Members, to tell you a  little more about their work. This month it’s

Ali Gibson of Off The Wall Glass.

Ali Gibson designs and creates all the fused glass art and kitchen splashbacks at Off The Wall Glass in Penryn, Cornwall.

Originally working in stained glass and tiffany lampshades Ali moved to cornwall in 2006 and following several years study of fused glass has recently opened a new studio at Grays Wharf, Commercial Road, Penryn. Specialising in large fused glass art panels and kitchen and bathroom splashbacks.

 “I have always been attracted to glass objects and can recall the childhood wonder of looking closely at my collection of marbles to see the secret reflective world within, like a dragonfly      caught in amber, a snapshot of frozen time. I try to recapture these feelings with my fused glass      art and the love of plants and horticulture are a strong influence. The colourful, textured  patterns of leaves and tree bark, together with the ever changing seasonal colours of the beautiful cornish panoramic seascapes are a constant source of inspiration.”

You can find a collection of trinket dishes, coasters, dishes and wall art at The Cowhouse Gallery, or visit Ali’s website at www.offthewallglass.co.uk to view a larger range of beautiful glass pieces.
