LIAM & GERI DORCEY - Glass Artists

Liam & Geri live and work on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall. Their glasswork is kiln formed, with inclusions of flame worked and hand blown pieces, fused together to make one whole and exclusive piece of work. The shaped pieces are continually worked upon and can take as long as seven days to make, returning several times to the kiln. Each piece is signed.

The colours and forms they use are chosen to represent the diverse and beautiful coastline near their home.

 

Some pieces depict the sea, with harbours and marinas, together with the jostling of sails and rigging.

 

Others are based upon the countryside, the beach and the sky.

 

Each piece is a unique work of art with no two being the same.

Liam and Geri are continually exploring new avenues and techniques.

 

"A large dose of lateral thinking and downright tinkering can produce startling results".

 

Currently they are exploring the possibilities presented by recycling domestic glass waste.
