Coloured Glass Art ‘Bridge Over Water’ by Deborah Timperley

This remarkable sculpture is constructed by hand using chunks of American Bullseye Glass to create a natural form. The composition is evocative of the landscape and a ‘Bridge Over Water’. Warm orange and amber tones complement emerald green hues and the cool clear aquatic colours.

The colours are reminiscent of a crisp autumn day!

Deborah’s coloured glass art will make a fantastic centrepiece for a table, display cabinet or mantelpiece. Placed in the warm light of the sun, the glass will bewilder with its magical reflective qualities.

This beautiful piece of coloured glass art will draw the eye and start many conversations.

N.B. Each piece is uniquely handmade for you. The photo is an example of this series. There may be slight colour variation due to supply.

Coloured Glass Art Artist

Deborah Timperley 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 her fused glass artistry just as much. One look at her work is all you need to ‘feel’ the joy and creativity that has been poured into each and every piece.

For many years, Deborah worked from home but now has a great workshop on the Borde Hill House and Garden Estate, West Sussex. The rural setting, down a little lane and in an old converted stable suit, Deborah, perfectly!

Deborah is a member of a number of professional bodies, and she has exhibited her work at numerous events, galleries and museums.  In 2021 Deborah was awarded the Excellence Award Medal & 6 Selected Work Medals in China’s Craft and Design Competition and Exhibition.

In the UK she has shown in several of the British Glass Biennales.
