Catching the light

Jo Downs works her love of the Cornish coast into each of her pieces. Rendered in tones of blue and green, her fused glass naturally reflects the movement and transluscence of the sea. The Bamaluz collection is named after a small sandy cove near St Ives, enclosed by rocks. In this decorative bowl from the collection several Cornish pilchards, made from copper, flit across one corner while bubbles fizz through the glass. Bamaluz small square bowl £29, jodowns.com
