ENDANGERED

My hand engraved study of a number of our listed endangered invertebrates. Original pictures for this study were kindly supplied by BUGLIFE.ORG to whom 40% of the sale of this piece will be donated. I had purchased ths cullet in a very raw state in a little glass factory in France some years ago. I have hand engraved each creature in great detail on every available facet, after having polished just the sharp edges so they were no longer a danger.

Glass Engraving Students

A craft experience day in a little village in rural Suffolk where on one day everyone gets to try 2 crafts. I teach basic glass engraving to around 6 "students" in the morning and 6 more in the afternoon. At the same time there are many other lessons going on including wood turning, card making, sewing, calligraphy, carpentry, ceramics etc..and in some of the houses there are cookery, baking lessons and others going on.. a great family day, all villages should have one. This takes place twice a year and is booked up well in advance.
