In July 2004, Vic completed 3 years full-time education and training at the world reknown International Glass Centre, Brierley Hill, UK.

Vic was awarded a Hot Glass Internship (2005/8) to the Red House Glass Cone, Wordsley, in the historically significant glass making area of Stourbridge in the West Midlands. The area is fast becoming the heart of the growing and thriving studio glass movement in the UK, and it plays host to the bi-annual International Festival of Glass. This internship has provided Vic with the opportunity to develop his glass making and painting skills, and firmly establish himself internationally as a leading exponent of the painted Graal technique.

Vic is now developing skills, techniques and creative ideas from the Cone studio and you are welcome to watch the pieces taking shape, each week from Thursday to Saturday. Work will also be available to purchase, or alternatively, you can contact Vic direct by clicking here .

In November 2006 and 2007, Vic, along with Adam Aaronson, Katharine Coleman, Alison Kinnaird and Layne Rowe was represented by the ZeST Gallery at SOFA, Chicago - the annual International Exhibition of Sculptural Objects and Functional Art.
