I make Stained Glass panels and windows to commission for private individuals and businesses. I also offer courses in Stained Glass making. Personal Statement:

Stained Glass – Coloured Light

For me, the beauty in stained glass begins with its properties filtering and altering light. Throughout its thousand year history, stained glass has been applied almost exclusively to the windows of churches and other significant buildings. In these spaces the design content, and reflective light were meant to be reverential.

In more recent times, stained glass has become more readily available in the home, communal spaces and the commercial sector. This is due in part to modern glass production techniques opening out the market, along with the development of kiln work such as fusing and slumping glass. Contemporary glass however, can also retain traditional techniques such as acid etching, enamel painting and silver staining, many elements of these techniques can be seen in my own work at
