Yellow Dog Glass Dichroic Jewellery.

About us

I am Becky Wills, and I the 'glassaholic' in the family. I have been working with glass since 1998 and switched from doing copperfoil work to making fused glass jewellery initially due to a temprary lack of space. I became hooked into the alchemy of glass in the kiln, and the fact that there are so many things left to discover with glass fusing. New colourways, techniques and products that make it all so exciting and innovative. Coloured glass in all it's form - cold, warm or hot - brings vibrancy and beauty into our lives. Fused glass jewellery not only looks wonderful, it is also very tactile.

My husband Caryl is the technical advisor and website manager. Our 14 year old daughter Nina makes her own range of jewellery called Purple Puppy, and our son Josh aged 16 takes most of the photos for the website. So it truly is a family-run business.

Our aim is to make an affordable range of highly individual pieces, so that you can come back to us regularly and see the latest range of products. We will be adding new designs and colours all the time to our range. Every piece is photographed individually, so what you see on the website is what you get - with dichroic glass, no two pieces are ever identical.

We currently have three kilns - our new kiln allows us to make much larger panels - the bed in this kiln measures 1000mm x 750mm. So contact us for prices on any of the following:

Wall art, splash backs, tiles, light fittings, bowls, etc

Copper Foil Work

I also make copper foil panels - a totally different traditional look compared to the contemporary look of fused panels. So if you need a panel for your lovely old cottage, or a really modern piece for your 21st century glass and metal home - we can create something for you or help you create something from your own design. We don't do restoration work, but can put you in touch with people who do.

Iguana Panel

This is a piece I made early in my career and has an interesting texture in both the glass and the leadwork.

Kingfisher Panel

I made this panel as a gift for the stone mason who helped build our house. Although young (ish) Simon Harris comes from a rare breed of craftsmen who have a genuine skill and love for their trade. He also has a love of the Somerset countryside and it's wildlife and this panel celebrates the return of kingfishers to his neighbourhood. The panel now sits above the front door of his cottage. Although mainly copperfoil work, I made some fused pieces to use in the panel to achieve the colour and textures required in the design.
