Jeanette Hannaby

Dichroic Glass Jewellery

Jeanette produces a variety of contemporary jewellery incorporating glass cabochons hand made from a combination of dichroic and coloured glass.

Dichroic glass has unique properties - the light reflected can be of a totally different colour to the light transmitted and it has striking irridescence unlike any other type of glass.

The Dichroic glass is combined with other pieces of translucent or opaque coloured glass and fused at high temperatures to produce the individual pieces used for each item of jewellery.

Enamel Work

Jeanette also specialises in making enamel wall panels. Jeanette lives in the Forest of Dean and gets her inspiration from the nature around her. She collects ferns, seed heads and leaves. The collected material is either used directly or a stencil is made from them.

Jeanette is also inspired by the sea shore. She previously lived in North Devon for 10 years.

The enamels are created by sifting powdered glass onto copper sheet. This is then fired which fuses the glass onto the copper. A mixture of opaque and transparent glass powders are used and each enamel picture uses from 5 to 15 colours, shades and types of glass.
