Meet Deborah Timperley

Deborah Timperley's glass career evolved after transitioning from hospitality management following a stained glass evening class. Working from her West Sussex studio, she has exhibited internationally at prestigious venues including Collect 2025 and the British Glass Biennale. Her achievements include selection for the Aesthetica Prize 2025 Long List, representation in the Craft Council Directory, and an Excellence Award from China's Craft Glass Competition in 2021.

Deborah's sculptures capture natural landscapes and human interventions, inspired by stone bridges, harbour walls, and rocky outcrops. Her compositions skillfully blend defined rocky edges with soft vegetation, using bold colours to evoke the landscape's richness where stone, sea, and sky converge. Each piece is a testament to nature's raw beauty, forever preserved in the timeless medium of glass.
