Jo Downs Handmade Glass

It is not by chance that designer Jo Downs lives and works in one of the UK’s most beautiful rural counties.
Her home on the north coast of Cornwall has always provided inspiration for her stunning fused glass collections, and inevitably seasonal colour and the ever-changing landscape affect the tone and feel of the work she creates throughout the year.
Jo’s range of beautiful glassware includes hangings, bowls and mirrors alongside her much sought after statement interior pieces such as wall panels and art frames. Jo has also developed her studio to undertake large interior projects. Her innovative designs have earned her hundreds of private commissions, producing fused glass windows, mirrors, wall panels and other artworks for homes, hotels and corporate headquarters around the world.
Jo says “I opened the first Jo Downs Gallery in Padstow in 2005, and now have galleries in St Ives, Fowey, Tintagel, and Launceston (and also one in Berkshire). They’ve become a real icon of the Cornish high street, with window displays that showcase all the dazzling colours of the coast, and I’m so proud of that. They’ve allowed me to showcase my large-scale work, and a range of smaller “take home” pieces that celebrate the beauty of Cornwall.”
This Christmas, Jo has a beautiful collection of festive tree hangings. Handcrafted in a range of sparkling Christmas colours, the collection includes pretty mistletoe, holly, red robin, snowman, fir tree, penguin, and figgy pudding designs. Cut, crafted, fired and finished at her Cornwall studio and tied with coloured ribbon, these gorgeous hangings will add fun and festive sparkle to your Christmas interior. Other Christmas hangings include Jo’s classic stars, along with a wide range of handmade glass gifts for all the family.
