Teresa Kent: Enamel & Fused Glass
Teresa is best known for her enamelled bowls; she works with vitreous enamel glass applied to copper and fused in a kiln.
Her work is organic and uses the interaction of the hot enamel and the copper itself, by pushing the boundaries of this medium she achieves effects that means no two bowls are ever the same.
Enamelling on copper rather than silver is a growing medium and Teresa is continually trying out new combinations of colour and temperature. Functionality is as essential as beauty and form, so many of the pieces have the potential for different uses, simply an ornament or perhaps a dish for bits and bobs. Her jewellery often has a reversible side or the ability to be worn in several ways.
Teresa is a member of British Society of Enamellers and is an Associate Craftsman with the Guild of Enamellers. Currently she works and teaches from her workshop in the small village of Blackwell in Worcestershire.
