Keith's
Story
By Nature an Engineer
Keith is a product of the Concorde era and the comprehensive school system at its best. A proactive and very capable ‘modern technologies' schooling inspired a creative engineer's interest in design, form, functionality, and materials.
The love for industrial engineering design, form, function and materials. was enhanced by a career in satellite navigation and spending over two decades leading teams of academics and engineers in technology transfer projects to industrial realisation. After leaving the industrial world behind Keith began work as a glass artist.
A major stroke in 2019 left Keith with a paralysed arm, hand and leg. His determination, intense rehabilitation for over three years and love of art allowed Keith to return to glass with a new perspective on the balance between human existence and natural intent.
When not in the studio Keith runs glass workshops and delivers entertaining interactive and animated audio-visual presentations often accompanied by a practical demonstration to societies throughout the UK.
