Metalwork by Colin Badger

Colin has perfected the art of the invisible join, as well as uniting disparate materials into distinctive works of art that join glass, wood and brass elements in harmony.

His skills come from 30 years as an artisan of metals and woods in West Somerset, UK.

Glasswork by Lisa Badger

"My desire is to recreate personal visions of life forms and patterns in suspended animation, fueling my adventures into the uses of glass for light-gathering, evocative pieces. Detail and colour, movement and life, inform my work. I have been influenced by tribal and folk art, the work of Kandinsky and colour theory in general, and Japanese design.”

Lisa has taken the kiln working of glass beyond the usual. Her 12 years of solid experience in a relatively contemporary method of working with glass, combined with a lifetime as a professional artist, gives her work an extra depth of skill and expressiveness. After relocating to the UK from New York in 2005 she has used her immersion in the landscape and history of Scotland and England to inspire ever more complex and exciting work.
