My name is Karen Cole and I work with stained glass and fused glass in my west Wales studio under the name Twig and Flint, creating jewellery, lamps and light catching gifts.

From secret woods to wide coastal skies, I’m often inspired by the mystical local landscape.

I’m also fascinated and endlessly captivated by the nature of glass itself, enjoying its light altering abilities when hung in a window or formed into a lamp and illuminated from within, as well as the endless possibilities when melted and fused in a kiln.

I’m a little addicted to trees, the simple line of the horizon over the sea and long shadows. My aim is always to create unique and original pieces that capture the spirit of the things that move or delight me. I hope they’ll find a place in your heart too!

Thank you for stopping by.
