The moor wall has been a constant theme in our landscape pieces. The moor wall is not only physical divider that holds back the moor and bracken, it’s the line that marks the change in land management from grazing to the contentious burning practices for the grouse shooting.
Each way of working the land leaves tell tale marks.
The beauty of these familiar, transient marks and practices can often distract from harsh and uncomfortable realities of whats happening to the world around us.This was one of the first in a body of work, ‘Landscape bowls’, made and shown at the #NorthYorkMoors #NationalPark gallery in Danby. #inspiredbygalleryThis piece was part of and exhibition celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the UK’s National Parks.

Pushing over the overlay.
This is the part of the process where it can all go wrong and air gets trapped between the two bubbles.
Most of the time it’s a smooth movement and the bubble is turned inside out and is seamlessly pulled over the parison.
However, like most makers we have good days and sometimes a bad day.
After over 30 years of making glass, we’ve learned that on days when the mind, heart and hands are not in sync with the material, it’s time to down tools and go for a walk on the moors. .
