Bill Swann works in Snowdonia National Park in North Wales UK designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near to the World Heritage Site of Caernarfon. Inspired by the natural land and seascapes of the area Bill produces fluid designs from blown lead crystal glass which are then designed into both interior and exterior panels which work with the light to reflect the changing atmosphere. Waterfalls, mountains and seashore images feature widely in his work of sculpture, public and private commissions and awards. Bill also works with communities of adults and children to create architectural pieces of glass work which remain in the community’s buildings and areas.
