Jenny Timms

Jenny Timms

Glass Artist

Jenny first discovered her interest in light and colour while at Art College. She is influenced by a range of artistic and natural themes, ranging from the Cubist and De Stijl movements of the early 1900s to abstract expressions and natural or man-made landscapes.

Mike Caddy

Mike Caddy

Glass Artist

After working in a number of technology-related industries, the opportunity to develop a more visually creative interest began when he and Jenny saw examples of modern stained glass at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. Mike’s pieces often have an abstract feel, exploiting colour, texture and light.
