About Fiona and her journey

What started out as a hobby to relax from her work in Optometry has evolved into a diverse set of skills, allowing Fiona to take personalised commissions for a range of glass projects.
"The creative journey to 'Fiona Hiscox Studio' began with my desire to create beautiful privacy windows for my village home. I enrolled in evening classes to fulfil this vision. Having discovered a passion for working with glass, I quickly progressed from copper foiling to lead
window techniques. I decided to further develop my skills by undertaking the City & Guilds Level 2 qualification in Design for Craft (Decorative Stained Glass). Units including 2D and 3D enabled me to produce exciting pieces for myself and friends.​"

​Artistic development

A busy professional and social life meant glasswork had to take a back seat for a short while. However, during a weekend workshop, Fiona made a fused splash-back for her own home. Her passion for glass was reignited, and she resolved to commit more time to making within this creative and unique medium.

Recently, Fiona was inspired to invest in her own glass fusing kiln after attending further skills courses. This has opened up new creative opportunities, which Fiona looks forward to sharing with future clients.
