Gregg Anston-Race
Gregg Anston-Race was born in Truro (Cornwall) and brought up in the small village of Week St Mary. He still lives and works in the village and has his own studio. He studied at art college and later became interested in glass.
Gregg’s early work was greatly influenced by the colours and effects in deposits of metal ores in old mine workings. He originally used mineral foils in his coloured glass work.
More recently he has worked with coloured glass powder to create flowing organic lines and develop new textures. He’s developed techniques for working with glass powders that are unique to his process. This creates an unusual textured look in the glass, a process which requires a long time in the kiln and which allows the work to take on its organic form.
When he’s not working with glass, Gregg Anston-Race can often be found in the middle of a field with a metal detector! He also loves drawing or exploring the Cornish beaches, moorland and woodlands with his wife and daughter.
