Stained Glass Saturday Workshop

On Saturday we held the last of this years ‘Day Workshops’ in stained glass.

There was a small group of students, both had been given the Saturday workshop as a birthday gift.

An enjoyable and relaxing morning was spent with an introduction to the craft and learning how to cut glass to a pattern.


After lunch in the Organic cafe, the afternoon was spent making their own panels. Both participants chose the same geometric design; but by choosing different coloured glass & textures, at the end of the day had made their own unique glass panel.

‘Still Life’ Stained Glass Commission

This week we have been designing and making a stained glass panel inspired by a previous project called ‘Still Life’.

The stained glass design is a composition of wine glass, wine bottle and carafe.


There are several handmade elements within the panel;  including blown, diamond-wheel cut & etched glass.  All adding to the bespoke and unique nature of the commissioned glasswork.


The panel has been commissioned by a local business as a retirement present for one of their longstanding employees.

The stained glass will be installed into a wooden free-standing frame, made in oak.
