Jackson Fawkes Glass Art Studio

The Jackson Fawkes glass art studio occupies part of Stafford Mill, a 250 year old historic landmark in Stroud’s ‘Golden Valley’, an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Cotswolds, England, UK.

Dedicated to creating unique glass sculptures their glass art studio is large and well equipped, enabling them to take on projects of varying scale and continue to be experimental when ideas demand.

Making their own work Sally Fawkes and Richard Jackson have a highly knowledgable and intimate relationship with glass which is reflected in the facilities that they have built up over the years, from several large kilns of different types and sizes for kiln forming glass to areas for original model and mould making in various materials to extensive tooling to sculpt and cold work glass.
Richard Jackson and Sally Fawkes set up their first glass art studio in 2000, and moved to the present site in 2005.

10 years ago Sally was asked by Sky Sports to design and make The Sunday Times Sports Women of the Year awards. They wanted a female artist maker to produce them. @vitality_uk sponsored it.
Being a bit of a sports fan and having a young daughter involved in athletics at the time I was 100% into being involved in working on a project that heightened the visibility of women in sport.
I am full of admiration for the dedication and staying power of people performing in elite sport, especially women who, against the odds, have stuck with their passion and desire to do what they do!
I enjoyed the whole process, the teams @skysports and @sundaytimes were a pleasure to work with, the challenge of making all the awards exactly the same size, the excitement of knowing who was going to receive an award before they did and then my reward of going to the Awards events and meeting truly inspiring women with the stories of their sporting journeys to tell.
Winners were diverse across the award categories from athletes at the top of their sport such as @jessicaennishill and @laurakenny31 to Team of the Year Award presented to the Lionesses and the English Netball team to women who are involved in grass root community sports. Some have retired from their sport and some are still competing. @dinaashersmith won the Young Sportswoman of the Year award early in her career and the main award 4 years later and is going into the 2024 olympics looking really strong. And last but not least @helenglovergb who won an award is one of our flag bearers this year.

Did you know that in 1900 Paris Olympics only 2.2% of competitors were women and this year we have a 50/50 male female representation. I for sure am looking forward to watching the Paris Olympics and seeing so many women loving what they do best!
