Great meeting so many enthusiastic people at Living Crafts (May 9-12) where I was demonstrating 'Tiffany' copper foil technique. Particularly pleased to meet Angie and Paul Boyer of Craft&Design magazine, who sponsor the Emerging Designer-Makers' marquee.

"Linda Banks' work shows a finesse of technique and a sensitivity to place that makes it just right for the unique setting of Blackwell House" - Victoria Scholes, Chair of the Contemporary Glass Society speaking in relation to 'Marbellous' shade (left) (displayed at New Glass - Ancient Skill, Contemporary Artform at Blackwell House, Cumbria (Jan-May, 2013)

Online shop coming soon, but in the meantime contact me to buy or commission something made especially for you. Or visit on my Open Studio days in June (15th,16th, 22nd and 23rd).
