Moriath Glass - Moira Williams

This is colourful glass from a small studio on a hillside near Newcastle Emlyn. Let me take you on a journey around some of my favourite parts of west Wales - layers of glass, paint and pattern make up each kiln-fused glass landscape of memories. I use the heat of the kiln to manipulate the glass in its variety of forms - sheet, powder, enamel – and take it through a multitude of firing schedules to create windows onto these worlds. No two pieces are ever the same, so you can be sure of taking home something completely individual to you. I am surrounded by fields, woods and big skies – endless inspiration - from the Ceredigion/Carmarthenshire border where I live down to the coast of Pembrokeshire, Cardigan Bay, the Teifi and Tywi rivers, the hills of the Preselis and some of the best beaches in the country. How can I not be inspired by all this? You can usually see me at work in the studio, see work in progress and a good selection of finished work. My studio is open to visitors throughout the year - keep up to date on social media for weekly open days. Or you are welcome to make an appointment - please phone 01559 371585 or email info@moriathglass.co.uk to book a visit.
