ABOUT US | Glass Half Full Art

EILEEN MAC

Hi, I’m Eileen – a multi-award-winning contemporary artist with a lifelong passion for creative exploration.

My work spans an eclectic mix of mediums including leadlight, stained glass, kiln-fired fused glass, mosaic, pottery, painting, resin,both metal and wood sculpture. With decades of hands-on experience and experimentation, I’ve developed a unique style that blends traditional craftsmanship with bold, modern expression.

Driven by a deep love for colour and the natural world, I bring together diverse techniques to create vibrant, mixed-media pieces that reflect both energy and emotion. I hope you find as much joy in experiencing my work as I do in creating it.

NIKKI MAC

Hi, I'm Nikki! My mum taught me everything I know...from a very young age, whatever Mum was creating, I was alongside her learning and growing my artistic skill set. I also present a mixed media, with the glass work as the central focus of my pieces. I love to create whimsical pieces, I try not to take life too seriously and my artwork speaks this in volume! The odd weird "why would you make that?" piece will appear from time to time, one off pieces for the fun, slightly oddball character. My passion is creating personalised commission pieces, designing to suit an individual person and seeing their face when they receive their one of a kind piece of artwork. Turning kids artwork into a statement piece brings me endless joy and many laughs. Memorial pieces for lost pets hold a place close to my heart. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and skillset with workshop guests, teaching others and seeing their results at the end makes me smile to no end.
