creative vibe glassblowing

After studying for two years at Barnfield colledge, Luton, I was accepted to study for a BA(honours) in Fine Art Ceramics and Glass at Buckingham shire University college, High Wycombe. I had the chance to experience a number of different mediums and I gradually became fascinated by the natural inherent organic textured qualities contained within clay. Half way through my second year I was introduced to the medium of glass, and glass blowing.The ethereal ghost like reflections cast by glass have influenced the work I have produced and produce today. I have always had an interest in things of a spiritual nature and have learn t to tune into the work I am producing at any one time, all else fades away into the background. As an artist it is not just about the end result but also the journey of creating something and learning to be in the present moment. When one achieves this, the finished result should carry a creative vibe that is able to lift the environment it is displayed in, through its vibrant colors and unusual vibrational bespoke presence.

tumble tots marlow-maidenhead-slough

Worcestershire,

Tumble Tots is a physical play programme. We offer classes where children can develop their physical skills of balance, agility, climbing and co-ordination, whilst at the same time stimulating their imagination, and developing their language and social skills. Our sessions are structured around the different ages and stages of a child's development, from 6 months to school age. Each week we combine fun, excitement and challenge in a safe and caring environment, with our unique equipment and team of specially trained coaches. Children have an enormous amount of natural energy and with proper help and guidance it can be channelled in the right direction. We believe that if we can start children on a healthy way of life early on then it will become a habit for the rest of their lives. Exercise should be about having fun and that’s exactly what Tumble Tots provides! My name is Helen Otto and I live in High Wycombe with my husband, twin 8-year-old daughters and our 4 year old son. I took over running Tumble Tots in Marlow, Maidenhead and Bourne End in June 2017. The girls had been going to Tumble Tots in Marlow for a couple of years and loved the classes. I’d been a Tumble Tot as a child, and had also been a competitive swimmer right up until my late teenage years, so doing something in sport really appealed to me. And I love working with kids. Seeing children grow in confidence and ability week after week is so rewarding. I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by a fab team of coaches who work their socks off to make our classes fun and challenging for our tots. Our Class Leaders are Jade, Jackie, Katie and myself. And our Coaches are Sarah, Lisa and Liz.
