Partners in life and art, Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones have been making exceptional contemporary blown glass together for over 20 years.
Their pieces are made as glass was prior to industrial revolution, for the love of process and material.
Operating from their studio and workshop in the village of Rosedale Abbey, they have developed a unique aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the elemental beauty of their rural surroundings.
They have received worldwide recognition for their complex cameo works, their defiantly decorative work can be found in both public and private collections including the V&A.
Stephen Gillies started his technical skills training at Stourbridge College of Art, in the historic centre of British glass- making, and then at Wolverhampton University. He worked abroad in the hotshop at the Glass Museum in Ebeltoft in Denmark and with the glass team of Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg in Switzerland. Now, Stephen Gillies talks about transparency and the unique qualities of the material and his driving force – the making of each piece to the best of his considerable ability.
Kate Jones trained in painting and, she spent a useful year learning to adapt her visual skill to the design and decoration of glass at the International Glass Centre, in Brierley Hill, Dudley. By then she was fully converted to glass and the opportunitiesit offered for self expression. She has brought a clearly defined sense of design to the partnership.

Stephen Gillies & Kate Jones, is a close-knit team of two, interlocked technically and artistically, and dependent on just one other skilled craftsman. Their long experience has brought their glass to a pitch of artistic and technical control, in which they have a very clear idea of how they want the finished glass to look and the confidence in their skills to achieve it. This experience took years to form. Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones became partners in 1994. They have worked with the often-disregarded vessel form from relatively early in their joint career .
Increasingly wide variations in colour and in complex intertwining of linear patterning have absorbed their thoughts and talents, leading to the unique artworks which have found their way into public and private collections. But, easily approachable though these works are, there is more going on beneath the surface than might be suspected. Gillies-Jones say their vessels are ‘physical and metaphorical containers for our thoughts, our interests, and … a way to reveal the possibilities of our shared world’. Like many artists, Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones are concerned about the dangers of imbalance between nature and humankind and seek to address that concern in their work. Merging concept with a visually pleasing result is a difficult challenge and one which Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones set themselves willingly.
Beyond any philosophical reasoning, the purely visceral pleasure of glass is its transparency, its reflective qualities, the richness of colour and the interplay of light within its depths. Gillies-Jones’ glass has this in abundance. Jennifer Hawkins OpieJuly 2009
