Fused Glass by Susan Purser Hope
Poppy Parade Plater
Susan Purser Hope
I am a contemporary fused glass artist who creates unique, hard crafted artworks. I love colour which is why I chose glass. For me it is the most magical of materials. I work with glass in a cold state and then use heat to fuse it together using a range of glass elements. My work is organised into collections where I review pivotal periods of my life, often interpreting meaning through the symmetry of pattern making. I specialise in wall hung works of art and accept commissions.
During the pandemic, I focused on developing small, affordable framed pieces of glass making work that is precious, easily accessible and raises people’s spirits.
Poppies are special with their dazzling red petals and contrasting black centre. They are such jaunty flowers and there is something utterly joyful in watching a field of poppies shimmering and dancing in the breeze.
