Leading Cornish glass artist Gregg Anston-Race creates his stunning contemporary glass at the Craft Fusion Studios on the banks of the River Tamar that divide Devon & Cornwall.
Gregg, who was born in Truro and now lives on the North Cornish coast is strongly influenced by the landscape and heritage of his native county, distilling into his glass art the essence of the Cornish countryside and organic colours created using the natural minerals that gave Cornwall its rich mining history.
After leaving College Gregg worked in, and ran, various art related businesses where he developed his passion for art glass. Several years ago Gregg opened his own Studio, Craft Fusion Ltd, near the source of the River Tamar on the Devon and Cornwall border.
Gregg can usually be found on the beaches around Bude with a surfboard in tow when he's not in the Studio.

I am a free style intuitive painter and fused glass maker. My work is magpie eclectic.. I am inspired by many things. Magic, myth and fairytale. Folklore and spirit of place. Nature and liminal edges. Feather, ocean and hagstone. The magic in the everyday. Curiosity. My inner journey. Self as sanctuary. Spirals and ancient stones. Life in all its fierce gloriousness.

At Ginger Cat Glass I have been creating beautiful art for many years and after making glass gifts for friends and family I decided to started exhibiting my artwork and selling it. The demand I have had and the popularity of my Facebook page have led to the creation of my own website. I had been attending workshops and learning more about the art of glass fusing for several years before making the decision to buy my own kiln and build my workshop. I enjoy spending time creating art with glass along with my ginger boy Ollie Purrs! I love how glass catches the light and the colours change throughout the day. I’m amazed how tactile glass can be from the completely smoothed out rounded edges to the contoured textural finishes that can be created with applying different temperatures in the kiln. I enjoy making seaside landscapes with waves, boats and beach huts, but equally I am happy to open the kiln to see a rainbow sun catcher ready to hang in a window or garden.

Glass is the heart of my items and what an incredible medium it is. Did you know it is actually classified as a liquid? There is something mystical about glass. It has its own mind and it can tell us so many stories. Static, yet ever changing.

Glass is the heart of my items and what an incredible medium it is. Did you know it is actually classified as a liquid? There is something mystical about glass. It has its own mind and it can tell us so many stories. Static, yet ever changing.
My designs are all developed and individually handmade by me, therefore every piece is unique. I work with foiling and leading mostly but like to incorporate other materials and particularly enjoy metalwork creating everything from small ornaments, tall sculptures to domestic window panels.
