- What is your name?: Anne Collins
- Where do you work? Llangyniew, Nr Welshpool
- How did you get started as an artist? I purchased a fused glass bowl four years ago. I loved it so much I decided to learn more about the process so booked a fused glass course in London. I loved the creative process so much I went every month for about 18 months. The owner of the studio said he couldn't teach me any more so he let me hire his kiln monthly and I provided my own glass. I was giving everything that I made away. People liked it so much they then started commission pieces to give as presents.
- How would you describe your work? I produce fused glass art work and jewellery. I love using dichroic glass, the Rolls Royce of glass, which gives the most amazing reflected and transmitted colours.
- Do you draw inspiration from your local area? I try to achieve the depth, texture and colours of the countryside surrounding my home.
- Where has your work been shown? Oriel Davies Gallery - Newtown Quisit - Wyle Cop - Shrewsbury Majors - Welshpool David Osbourne - Jewellers-Church St - Welshpool. Nice Thing, Mijas, Costa del Sol, Spain.
