Keith SheppardGlass Artistry

Kiln-formed glass studio at Moyallen outside Portadown, where Keith Sheppard fuses metals, mostly copper, into glass to make vases, bowls, tableware, wall pieces and trophies. He trained in glassmaking in Ireland and England across about a decade, and set the studio up in 2011 following a spinal cord injury sustained skiing in 2009. He made the Ulster Tatler Awards trophies in 2018 and 2019, and has shown at the Cecilia Colman Gallery in London and the Guinness Gallery in Dublin. Commissions, workshops and private tuition run from the studio.
