About Siobhan Jones

Giving you the confidence that whatever I do is of the very highest standard, using quality materials and sound processes. It is the only way I know.

It is the ‘way’ that has earned me the respect of galleries, clients and companies nationwide. I believe my passion for fused glass art will earn your respect too.

Following my graduation in 1996 I set up my fused glass workshop, which has been growing in strength and reputation ever since. Over the past 30 years I have continued to develop my work as a glass artist and designer, creating private, commercial, architectural and public commissions alongside my own collections and one-off pieces.

Soon after establishing my studio in 1996, I also began receiving requests to incorporate cremation ashes into glass, creating early memorial bowls and necklaces alongside my wider artistic work. What began as a small, personal part of the practice grew over many years and ultimately developed into the dedicated memorial jewellery studio Ashes With Art.

Whatever your specification I can create a final piece to fulfil your needs, whether it is a two-dimensional wall panel or installation, a three-dimensional sculpture, or a bespoke work for an interior, exterior, private or commercial setting. Each commission is a journey through colour and design possibilities, incorporating depth, laminations, voids and originality where appropriate.

Creating innovative, sophisticated and contemporary fused glass backed by practical experience, Siobhan Jones Designer Glass is where passion meets creativity.

Inspiration

Creating one-off signed pieces of contemporary kiln-fused glass, I am inspired by light and the part it can play in bringing life and dimension to an object.

Things I like & inspiration

• Pink
• Blowing bubbles
• Water – the ocean, puddles and tropical rain
• Pebbles
• Sauvignon Blanc
• Things that twinkle & sparkle – stars in a dark sky, happy eyes, diamonds & disco balls
• Natural textures – tree bark, rock formations & rust
• Reflections & shadows

Commissions

Working with private clients, art consultancies, galleries, local authorities, NHS trusts and commercial organisations, I create bespoke fused glass for residential, architectural and public settings. Every project starts by understanding the client, the environment and the purpose of the piece, before developing the right balance of colour, scale, budget and design.

Technique

I work with high-quality opal and transparent glass tested for compatibility, using permanent colour that will not fade. Thin canes of glass are shaped by hand, colours are layered, bubbles introduced and voids created in conjunction with the kiln-fusing process to add decoration, movement and depth. Every piece is hand cut and arranged with close attention to detail.
