FERNIG, Claire

1969 - ?

As Claire Harris she married at Chatham, Kent in 1989, Nigel J Fernig (1962-) and now works as Claire Fernig at Spinnaker Glass at Felixstowe, Suffolk. Claire’s journey with stained glass began more than thirty years ago, and working with traditional lead, delicate copper foil, and the shimmering possibilities of fused glass, she draws inspiration from the natural world, its colours, shapes and rhythms, as well as her love of sailing, the shoreline, and the ever-changing sea that surrounds her home. It was this blend of creativity and coastal life that inspired the name Spinnaker Glass. Claire creates an impressive variety of handcrafted pieces, including windows, panels, mirrors, bowls, candle lanterns, lampshades, garden art and intricately fused glass jewellery. While Claire offers a selection of ready-made pieces through her Spinnaker Glass shop, most of her creations are bespoke commissions working closely with clients, providing tailored designs and quotations to bring their ideas to life and she specialises in repairs and full renovations of stained-glass windows and door panels, restoring cherished pieces to their former beauty. Claire is also a stained-glass tutor at Flatford Mill Centre and an active member of both the Contemporary Glass Society and the UK Glass Art Collective. Claire Fernig is a member of Suffolk Open Studios from 2 Keswick Close, Felixstowe, Suffolk.
