Tlws trained in ceramics and glass and graduated in 1996.
With the help of Southern Arts she set up her own workshop where she makes a variety of kiln formed glass.
She uses re-cycled Dartington lead crystal cullet melted into a mould to form large sculptures which usually have a polished side to reveal the interior where the colours swirl about and tiny air pockets look like silver drops within the glass. Most of these sculptures are originals but Tlws also makes a limited edition of certain items.
The fused glass has colour trapped between the sheets. The picture plates have handmade stands in glass, metal or ceramics or screw fixing to mount on a wall. Larger pieces are mounted into a frame for hanging.
The Jubilee Window is an example of a fused piece and can be seen in St Lawrence Church, Winslow, Bucks.

Tlws will be exhibiting large glass cast sculptures in a mixed glass exhibition:
