Gay Hutchings

Since 1994, new SCS member Gay has been working with glass, while still painting and printmaking.

Commissions include two windows for the Royal London Hospital, a window for the

foyer for the Headgate Theatre in Colchester and a memorial window for Peldon

Church, Essex.

More recently, she has been making glass without traditional leading, using such

techniques as screenprinting, etching, bonding and fusing. As well as decorative

plates and bowls, she creates colourful, textured, free-standing glass pieces, using

fusing and slumping techniques. Her work is mainly imaginative, inspired by the rich

colours and shapes of landscape and nature, together with the human figure. Her

most recent pieces are glass flowers for the garden, mounted on wrought iron stands

which are intended to be installed in flower beds.
