Did you know that I don’t just make keepsake cards? I realised the other day that most people know me for my cards and not the other products that I sell in person at craft fairs and markets ….. so today I thought that I’d show you something a bit different, these are all made with glass in the form of sheets, Murrini, frits and powders

If Mothers were flowers, I'd pick you 🌺
Many, many years ago my daughter bought me a fridge magnet that had that quote, over 20 years on it's not looking it's best anymore, but it still makes me smile every time I go to the fridge 💕
What sort of things have you kept?

As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank my customers and family for your loyal support.
2022 certainly hasn’t been without its highs and lows and I’m pretty sure that 2023 will have its own challenges, but I look forward to seeing what this new year brings

I'm soooo excited ... I've never been to a Christmas Lights switch on before and this year I'm going to Chesterfield and I'll also be selling my lovingly handmade fused glass.

01/11/2022

Stop it, I’m blushing. 🤗 Hearing kind words like these from customers is why I love what I do. I’m so thrilled to hear that people think my cards are special

Hello again! How has your week been?

With a full time job and a part time handmade business it can be difficult to juggle things at times and more often than not things get neglected … so this week I’ve been trying to put more effort into Social Media. Today I’m showing you another design from my Christmas card collection, trying something new with this one and using enamels

I just love a Christmas market don’t you? 🎄
Wandering around looking for the perfect, unique gift, singing along to the carols 🎶 whilst warming your hands (and everything else) with a mug of mulled wine🍷
I’ve got four Christmas market dates booked so far so if you are local or just in the area why not pop by and say hello 👋

🎶It's beginning to look a lot like ..... Christmaaas🎶☃️🎄
Where has this year gone, its flown by and I can’t believe it’s the middle of October already.
I’m way behind plan but I’ve been really busy the past few weeks working on new Christmas card designs and the first one that I wanted to show you was my Santa’s sleigh
I’ll be revealing the rest over the coming days ..... but for those of you that don't want to wait just head on over to my Etsy shop, they are listed and available to buy now …

It’s been a while since I last posted so let’s get reacquainted 🥰
I’m The Glass Nomad, a contemporary fused glass artist based in the North West of the UK 👋
I design and handcraft bespoke fused glass occasion cards, ornaments, wall art, homeware and gifts. 🎁
My passion for glass art started only a few years ago after a visit to a local glass artists studio who was offering a taster day class …. four coasters, a wall hanging and a pot stand later and I was hooked 🪝

It's a busy weekend I'm at the Makers Market at Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter today .. it's a beautiful day pop down and see us

I bet you can’t guess what happened to the props in the pictures 🤫🍫 ....
Well … I had been working hard on the designs, the cutting and then the kiln firing so I figured that I deserved them… after all they are my absolute favourite chocolate
Easter cards are now available, all cards have free 2nd class delivery to the UK with just a small charge to upgrade to 1st class 🐰🐣

Spring has definitely been in the air this week ....🌸
I've been working on some new tealight holders ready for my next craft fair in April, these are fresh out of the kiln .... which colour is you favourite? 🌼🎋

03/02/2022

It's strange how things turn out ....
Whenever I'm coming up with design ideas I always seem to have one in mind that I think will be more popular but I would say that 8 out of 10 times I'm wrong .... but don't breathe a word of that to my husband!🤫
So .... once again I'm wrong and so far this card is proving to be the most popular .... aaaannd it seems to be the fellas that are buying it 😮💖
Ladies there's still time to buy and all cards have free 2nd class delivery to the UK with just a small charge to upgrade to 1st class

What a week!
I've been working on Valentines card designs this week 💖some have been successful and others have had to be tweaked .... these are the first few samples fresh out of the kiln.
Now all I need to do is decide which designs I want to go with ... which ones do you guys like???

04/01/2022

Happy New Year! 🍾🎉

I just want to thank everyone for supporting my new and very small business over the last year 🥰
I have lots of plans for this year ... dedicating more time to my business, introducing new products and hopefully attending a lot more craft fairs
