Biography
Anthony’s initial training was in Architectural Model Making. It was largely due to the study of this extremely precise discipline that Anthony’s interest in Cold Working techniques in conjunction with optical glass was fuelled. Over the past twenty years Anthony has become a highly regarded practitioner in the field of Cold Working. His work is prized by discerning collectors around the world, who admire Anthony’s uncompromising attention to detail which has become the hallmark of his signature style. Anthony is also a seasoned veteran in the field of education and has taught both hot and cold glass techniques for almost two decades. His enthusiastic approach to teaching has earned him a positive reputation among students, many of whom have gone on to become highly accomplished artists in their own right. His work investigates the interaction and relationship between the reflection and refraction of light. He continues to draw inspiration from the optical effects that glass and light can induce upon one another, and in turn, how these shifting qualities can manipulate the perception of an object. Creating objects where light, shadow, and reflection combine in ways that only nature can dictate, Anthony allows us “tantalising yet transitory glimpses of refractive phenomena beyond imagination.”
