Jon Lewis founded Orbic Glass, a creative glass design studio in 2005. The vision was to innovate modern glass design in architecture, lighting, blown glass and sculpture. Since his first introduction to glassmaking in 1989, Jon Lewis has become fluent in many glass disciplines. He has exhibited worldwide and has produced blown, cast, stained glass and numerous commissions, both architectural and sculptural.
Jon’s classes held at Parndon Mill
Sand casting in glass is a very creative and exciting experience. Each person will design and make three glass pieces during the day which they can take away after a three day cooling process in a kiln.
Jon Lewis and Yuki Kokai offer glass blowing tuition for beginners and intermediate glass blowers. In the fully equipped glass hot-shop the students will learn all about the ancient and magical craft of glass-making. First time glass blowers will be introduced to molten glass, workshop equipment and practice in a six hour session.
Jon Farningham captures not only outward appearances but something that is suggestive of the character underneath. When he creates self-portraits he looks inward, however when painting others he removes personal and subjective experience to create an image which is fair and true of them. Commissions would be accepted. Portrait painting is an immense task, however the rewards of the experience are incredibly fulfilling.
