My work

Camefix is an innovative approach to making decorative art glass panels and light sculptures for screens, windows and doors. Its glass panels glow and sparkle with the colours and hues of the rainbow, changing subtly with the seasons and time of day. It throws splashes of coloured light across the walls. It can hold prisms so it tips rainbows into the room. I can draw and write on the glass with a drill so the image shows in white only when you look very carefully, almost like a secret; or I can use black paint so the image is bold and obvious. It gives your room a lovely sense of warmth and opulence. It can hide you and give you privacy. It can hide a view you don’t want to see, but still let the sunshine in.

Because the camefix panel is inside a secondary glazed unit, you can’t touch it so you can’t cut yourself on it. This means each separate bit of glass does not have to have a black (came) outline so the visual effect is much lighter than leaded lights.

Traditional leaded lights are glass panels held together in a lead framework (called came), soldered, and sealed using lead-based putty, Lead dusts into lead oxide, making it hard to clean. CAMEFIX has long-life plastics and adhesives, making a strong, light framework, which won’t distort or oxidise over time. CAMEFIX units are stable. They can be used to make sun-catchers or can be sealed into secondary glazed units, which are consist of an outer sheet of window glass, a sheet of Camefix, then an inner sheet of window glass. They can be made 12mm thick which is ideal for thermal insulation. They are easy to clean (so they can be used in bathrooms).

As the Camefix panel is protected inside the unit the edges of its glass panels don’t have to be made safe with came so the effect is much lighter and brighter than leaded lights.

These units won’t fail like double-glazed units do eventually, because expansion and contraction of air (caused by temperature variations) moves air inside the unit through the desiccant and dries it out: in case of accidents only the glass which is broken needs to be replaced, not the whole unit.
