Deborah Timperley Glass features beautiful and colourful cast glass bowls and sculptures.
Deborah is an accomplished UK glass artist who has produced stunning glass artworks for over 20 years. Interestingly, Deborah’s first career was in the hospitality industry. However, an introduction from her mother to the beauty of stained glass led Deborah along a new path.
“My mother was passionate about art, and as part of her teacher training, she did a study on stained glass. I was taken to many churches and cathedrals to look at the windows as part of her research. I was only in junior school at the time, but the magnificence of the stained windows in Coventry Cathedral stayed with me. So, 20 or so years later I took a stained glass at evening classes in London and loved it!
I eventually stopped working with stained glass and instead studied for a degree in 3D Design at Middlesex University. I knew immediately that I had found my ‘groove’ as I could work across disciplines and with both glass and ceramics”.
Over two decades since gaining her degree, Deborah continues to enjoy making just as much. It only takes one look to ‘feel’ the joy and creativity that has been poured into every piece of Deborah Timperely Glass.
Deborah is a member of a number of professional bodies, and she has exhibited her work at numerous events, galleries and museums internationally. Deborah Timperley won the Coberg Prize in 2014 in Germany, Belgium and Lithuania. In 2015 she won the Warm Glass Prize.
Her work is exhibited at The Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts in Switzerland.
At China’s Craft Glass Creation & Design Exhibition in 2021, Deborah won several awards.
Deborah Timperley Glass work has been exhibited at several UK British Glass Biennales and other national exhibitions.
