A Touch of Glass is owned and run by fused glass artist, Jane Ducarreaux. My passion for glass has been a lifelong one, having been surrounded by glass since birth. Both my parents worked in the glass industry - my father as a master glass blower, my mother as a glass finisher. Having tried many crafts before finally finding fused, also known as kiln-formed glass, i am passionate about the versatility of glass and the uplifting nature of what can be produced.

When designing any piece of glasswork, be it a large panel or a small ornamental piece, I am a great believer in not over-designing but in letting the beauty of the glass do much of the work. Often the most successful pieces are those that let the drama of the rich colours combine with stylised design to create an eye-catching impactful display. Of course, ultimately I am guided by the wishes of my clients and the location in which each piece is going to live but being able to discuss ideas and use my experience to deliver a special piece is really fulfilling."
