My Name is Mark Laird and I run and own Hazelhouse Jewellery. I’m based in the North West corner of Surrey, on the Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire county borders.  I have a small studio, with three kilns that allows me to be creative, as well as having the space to run workshops on fused glass, lampworked glass, and jewellery.


CONTINUAL DEVELOPMENT

So as to ensure that I continue to challenge myself, and also so that I can continue to learn new skills I ensure that I attend at least a couple of Master classes with world renowned tutors each year. Over the past few years these have included - Craig Mitchell Smith - Poppies and Irises, Alyssa Oxley - Boxes, Marguerite Beneke - abstracts, Ian Chadwick - Advanced Pattern Making, Matthew Szösz - Experimental fusing, Ruth Shelley - Dropouts, Miriam Di Fiore - Multi layer landscapes, Karl Harron - deep forms.

HOW I STARTED

I started making jewellery over 12 years ago, when I attended a beading class with my children. One thing led to another and eventually I was making and selling my own designed jewellery. I was then introduced to the world of Lampworked Glass where I started making my own glass beads to complement the semi-precious stones I was using.

From there it was a small jump into fused glass and I’ve been making fused glass items now for more than 9 years.
