Welcome to my creative world

I tell stories using the beguiling beauty of glass and I am on a personal mission to share my love of stained glass to help ensure its survival. The changing quality of natural light passing through my windows reflects my love of the changing seasons. My artistic quest continues as I learn from each new piece of work I produce and by studying other artist’s creations.  I work to commission and I produce stained glass artworks for exhibitions.

To keep the skill alive I teach stained glass classes from my garden studio in Surrey and students use the same beautiful glass that I use. The glorious colours of mouth-blown glass are the starting point for all my creations.

Room for Improvement

Room for Improvement

How endangered is stained glass? Personally, I have never been so busy, but is that because my work is getting better (which it is) or because there are less people offering what I can do? The old guard are getting, well, old (obviously I don't count myself in that...

Here to Stay!

Here to Stay!

I have been wondering why people are so generous towards me and keep giving me things. Not just their time and knowledge, but their old materials, tools and glass. It is true that I find it hard to say ‘no’ to people. One lady brought round boxes of coloured glass that I couldn’t use…

Summer Invitation to the Studio

Summer Invitation to the Studio

When you are feeling endangered what do you do? Look to the past? Look to the future? Focus on the present? I have been been doing all of those since the skills needed to make traditional stained glass windows have been officially added to the Red List of Endangered...
