New Year 2025 Workshops

Now booking – One day Stained glass beginners workshop

This year has seen my skills in painting on glass starting to grow, with the invaluable support and skills advice of Dennis Eckersley of Design Lights, thank you so much Dennis. Painting on the glass plays with light coming through the glass, and with the colours, to add further dimensions and delights to stained glass windows. Have I mentioned how Stained glass is like magic, and eye candy for the soul.

I will be adding painting to commissions and continue to practise and play with this in wee free moments.

Stained glass workshops –

I am running stained glass beginners workshops, roughly once a month on a Saturday. Below in Slide Show, are some of the students and pieces they have made from the One day workshops and the Courses.

Due to commissions and other commitments, I am not running the Introduction to Copper Foiling workshops for a short while.

The daytime 8 week course will continue to run, I love to watch people progress and confidence grow in these workshops, along with all the friendships and wonderful design ideas and concepts. Both courses are full in January through to March. Please do contact me to add you name to the list of interested people and I will let you know when places become available.

Stained Glass Artwork Showcase: Engaging Creations and New Ventures

Withington Baths stained glass

My most recent stained glass project I’m thrilled about is a series of windows created for Withington Baths, part of their Heritage Fund renovation. I created a community engagement project to design the windows. I worked with 5 local Primary schools and a local young adult learners group.

The designs centred around the themes of ‘Welcoming’ and ‘Community.’ Collaborating with local primary children and young adults on these window designs was a delightful experience. They brought inspiring ideas, a fresh palette of bold colours, and demonstrated exceptional teamwork in finalizing the designs. Here is a reel from my Face Book showing how magical light is through stained glass, and slide show of the work.

Painting and other work

I’ve been a bit of a secret agent when it comes to showcasing my stained glass creations, need to learn to put down the glass cutter and learn how to update website’s gallery. I’ve been painting and firing designs onto glass, which is a thrilling new venture and quite the learning experience. As I figure out how to update my gallery with new pieces, here’s a slideshow featuring some of the stained glass artwork I’ve created.
