Donna Evans produces a range of contemporary, unique and affordable 'artworks' for everyday use, including artwork for wall-mounting and display, gifts and 'wearable' art in the form of jewellery. She really loves working with such a tactile medium and is very passionate about her work. Donna handcrafts high quality, exciting and an ever-growing range of both vibrant and more natural designs to suit individual tastes. Her inspirations come from nature and everyday urban and rural environments; from textiles, architecture and travel to the Great British coastline and countryside.
Donna first experimented with glass fusing while studying for her BA(Hons) degree in Education Studies and Art at Bishop Grosseteste College, Lincoln. During 2006 she furthered her knowledge and understanding of contemporary glass fusing through a series of courses, and now has two kilns to fire her 'glassy goodies'! She predominantly uses two different types of glass; Bullseye and Float glass.
Her artwork, especially jewellery, is often complemented by the luxurious qualities of Dichroic glass. Dichroic glass is a multi-layer coating placed onto the glass, it has a transmitted colour (where light passes through the glass) and a completely different reflective colour (where light reflects off the glass) and these two colours shift depending on angle of view. Recycled glass is often incorporated into her artwork when using float glass, and crafting nature inspired designs.
Each piece of artwork is kiln fired (often several times) to temperatures above 800C until the desired affect is achieved and then slowly cooled for maximum strength. Texture is created by tack fusing and smooth surfaces achieved by fully fusing layers of transparent and coloured glass.
The competition prize includes three matching jewellery items, beautifully handmade using four different shades of Dichroic glass for a gorgeous and unique sparkle!
ZigZag Pendant (with an 18” Silver Plated Snake Chain)
ZigZag Ring (adjustable)
Sterling Silver & Glass Stud Earrings
The jewellery is gift wrapped.
To win this amazing prize, simply answer the following question:
Donna’s “Dichroic Glass Slider Pendant: Corkscrew Shimmer” uses Dichroic corkscrew glass and what other ...?
a) Black glass
b) Teal glass
c) Bronze glass
