Sue King

Sue King is inspired by colour & light. She designs and creates vibrant kiln-formed glass for residential and commercial interior projects, including specialising in healthcare commissions. Her work also includes smaller items such as hanging panels and tableware using a contemporary style and colour palettes.

Originally qualifying with BA Interior Design. Sue worked for various hotel design practices, before running her own design consultancy for many years. She studied Glass with Architecture/Fine Art at Central St Martins College of Art & Design in 2002.

All of Sue’s work is imbued with a passion for colour, taking inspiration from artists, nature and pattern and her own photography/artwork. She has developed a fluid technique of working in a painterly style whereby coloured glass is cut freehand, overlaid onto clear glass and then fired at temperatures of around 810 degrees to fuse together. Her designs are all unique and one off pieces.

Sue King’s commissions are developed closely with clients using hand drawn watercolour sketches that are then translated into glass. This helps her clients to see a visual representation of their vision and ideas so they are fully involved throughout the commission process.

Sue enjoys exploring how glass interacts with light and often incorporates textural markings to bring out these qualities. Glass shows its best qualities when displayed in natural light, which then throws beautiful colour shadow washes into the surrounding space.

Larger commissions include panels for healthcare projects, as well as contemporary stylish sculptures for a Saudi Arabian hotel, panels for Molton Brown in New York and many glass installations for private homes.

We were so keen to launch our Artist Directory we have decided to launch the first phase in advance of the costing and portfolio generation section.

In this first phase we have included a diverse selection of artists we collaborate with.

Over the coming months this selection will continue to grow eventually to include all of our artists.

In the near future our artwork selection, frame visualisation and costing database will come on-line.

This will allow the selection of artworks and frames, see a visualisation of the framed artwork and include this in a portfolio for purchase.

If you would like further information about this artist or their available artworks please complete this form and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
