BACKGROUND
William Greenwood, born in Salisbury, Wiltshire 1965, studied Bachelor of Arts 3D Design (Ceramics & Glass) at Buckinghamshire College (now called Chilterns University) and graduated in 1988. Whilst a ceramics student he discovered a fascination for casting glass and switched his specialism to kiln-worked glass.

Since the 1980s, William has been experimenting with slumping and static casting techniques. He models his ideas in clay and makes negative plaster/quartz moulds. The main focus of the work is to create forms which trap personal thoughts and moods in glass. Wiliam explains:

"Rather than adopting a researched theme or casting forms directly from found objects, I prefer to use my own workings of geometric shape to convey mood and state of mind. The experimental casting work is all about finding form from fleeting thought and forcing the glass to make it permanent."
