"ONE OF A KIND"

Neil has worked in the field of glass and crystal in England for over 25 years, first as a glass decorator/engraver.

Neil's most notable achievement is his wildlife and dog sculpture work. Currently Neil is the only artist in the U.K. (and, we believe, anywhere!) who can produce accurate, individually sculpted dog models in a flame from solid rods of glass. These models are then mounted on a plinth of hand cut lead crystal.

These plinth bases are from Stourbridge, the heart of the lead crystal industry, and are at least 30% lead for the highest refraction, clarity and brilliance. Stourbridge is famous throughout the world for its cut crystal and "Cameo" ware.

Limited by this very detailed process to production of 2 sculptures per day, these true to life designs are instant collectibles.

Neil currently sculpts over 80 dog breeds and a wide range of wildlife animals as well. We will be updating this website often, but meanwhile, should you care to request your breed, or a particular piece of wildlife, just send an email to me: kathy@crystalcarousel.com .

Neil served his glass apprenticeship with Thomas Webb & Sons, a highly noted British "blue chip" firm in the glass industry, established in the 19th century.

Neil's rendition in crystal of the jaguar was chosen by Jaguar Car Corporation of Great Britain as their showroom model.
