Shiona Watson Designs

09/05/2024

The quality of light is forever changing; so too are the colours we see. SHIONA WATSON is drawn to glass as it adds another dimension through reflection. There is a fascination and wonder at the juxtaposition of the sea and sky; sea and land as well as land and sky that inspires her work.
The contours, shapes and colours all change dependent on the light and season.
Each piece Shiona creates brings the possibility of light and reflection.
The pieces can be installed in the garden or the home with accented light used to show off the colours of the glass at night.
The wood is sourced from reclaimed sea defences along the south coast from a certified reclamation company who specialise in re-using/re-purposing hard woods.

Shiona will be opening her studio - venue 88 - during the Chichester Open Studios Art Trail 2024.

Great to see Gus enjoying his hydrotherapy today! So pleased to see him back in the water and looking so strong! Many thanks to Enzo for encouraging him on and to Julie at Therapaws for her knowledge.

Our lovely boy Gus is home after his big cruciate ligament operation. He is still sleepy from the pain killers and needs a lot of TLC now to speed him on his recovery. Thanks to Arun Vet Group in Chichester for their care and continued support.

These lovelies found their new forever home this weekend. Gorgeous, sunny weekend to pour light and life through them.

This 6 layer stack has each piece of glass fired at least twice before the final 36 hr full fuse. The lines of text are from a poem called The Children of Lir - a lovely story about 4 swans.
Thanks to Paul Messink, Catherine Dunstan, ScreenEasy and Peter and Hazel Pond for their input to this piece. 🙏🏼😀

Coming soon to Waterford - watch this space! 👀👀👀
Stained glass to bring light and interest...

Forever-changing light and context add magic to outdoor art, which can enhance any room outside, says the garden designer

Here we are… the finished piece! The chakra colours bubble up!
How wonderful that this is already sold to a lovely woman who came to commission one piece and fell in love with it. As a bonus she also wants another live edge piece for her garden.
I’ll be busy!
