Tasty colours!! Leisa does have an incredible eye for colour.

The wrought iron and glass gate to The Studio

Leisa uses glass in a way that really celebrates the material for what it is; highlighting its' unique properties. It's like she's found this lovely balance between controlling the molten glass with tools, and just letting heat and gravity define each piece. Leisa's studio is an incredible place to be a part of – never short of inspiration when I'm around decent company, glass, nature and such things!

Sarah hard at work!

NOW! I need to tell you all about something else Leisa is doing! (Which is also very wonderful – surprise!)
