Hi, I’m Joshua Pattison – Glass Artist
I’ve been working with Jean Riley for the past four years, bringing my passion for glass to life through flame-working. Originally self-taught, I first started experimenting with glass out of pure curiosity, and it quickly became an obsession. Over the years, I’ve refined my skills, exploring the endless possibilities of molten glass and pushing the boundaries of what can be created at the torch.
While glass is my primary medium, I also love experimenting with other artistic forms, always looking for new ways to merge craftsmanship and creativity. Working with Jean Riley has allowed me to develop a unique approach to jewellery and object-making, combining traditional techniques with modern artistry.
I’m excited to share my knowledge through our workshops, giving others the chance to experience the magic of glass firsthand. Whether you’re a beginner or a fellow creative, I can’t wait to see what you create.
