Teaching
To keep stained glass alive and flourishing it needs to be taught and the skills need sharing. I help students from complete beginners to experienced professionals to reach their artistic potential. Students achieve stunning results because they use the finest handmade glass that I use myself. I teach glass engraving, painting, leading, designing and all the processes I use in my practice. I have a Speedburn kiln that allows the glass to be fired and cooled in just over an hour. There are no pattern books or restrictions just beautiful materials and expert tuition.
Spaces are strictly limited with a maximum of four people in a workshop. If you can get a group of 3-4 people together I can put on a class at a time that is mutually convenient.
You can join me for some homemade soup and bread or you can bring your own lunch. Refreshments are included. My studio is in Farncombe (near Guildford), which is 45 minutes from Waterloo by train.
The cost of all classes is £20 per person per hour. The longer the workshop the more you can achieve. There may be space for part of the workshop – please email me the week before to check availability.
Gift Vouchers are available in multiples of £20 an hour and make a great present.
Drop-in Classes
I have a few spaces for students who are keen to learn from me on a regular basis. Students work on their own projects and learn at their own pace. Every month or so we hold a group tutorial and critique that it is open to any student with their own studio who is serious about stained glass. Please email me if you are interested.
Lectures and Talks
I give talks about my work to arts organisations, museums and groups. Please contact me if you would like more information.
