Stained glass work & courses This summer has flown by with so much going on. I have have done a tremendous amount of work for myself this year in and out of the studio. My personal work is as important as my commissions as it all becomes connected through line work, design and paint. I am currently working on three windows for a private commission, the clients love foxgloves and I am eager to do the flowers in glass painting. Some projects take longer than others depending on so many … [Read more...]
May blooms into summertime
Hello to all fellow creatives in the southern and northern hemispheres I hope you are well. This past year has been full of surprises, so I have had to slow down and take stock. I had an immune system health problem which took me by storm and therefore I have had to change my lifestyle completely. I am sure many people have these personal health issues for which we must change our way of thinking, working, foods, lifestyle to change ourselves for the better. Mind, body and spirit ! Fortunately I … [Read more...]
Branching out to new beginnings
Hello again, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about some decisions I am making. Stained Glass has always been a passion and love which gradually developed from my love of drawing and painting. I have always adored churches and buildings with coloured light and the mix of natural scenes and seascapes captured me. In essence this led me to become a stained glass maker. It was at my Art degree at Roehampton, University of Surrey where I found two new skills I wished to pursue, … [Read more...]
Autumn/Winter 2023
Summer/Autumn Magic I am writing this morning sitting here looking out onto the sunlit corn which is growing high in my garden. The blueberries are over and now the blackberries hang in juicy drops waiting to be picked. This last year has been full of great commissions and adventures. I have barely had the time to keep up with my blog so have let go of it a bit in order to prioritise work commitments. As usual I have held small classes at my private studio in Trowbridge near the town centre … [Read more...]

Autumn/Winter 2022
Fall back, Spring forward As I sit here to write about the past months I realize they have flown by in the wink of an eye. The clocks went back last weekend here in England and we are truly on our way to winter now being the beginning of November. My friends in Quebec, Canada where I lived for many years are only four hours difference instead of the usual five hours. This will change in a few weeks when their clocks 'fall back'. I am happy that I made the long awaited journey to see friends … [Read more...]
Wintertime & Spring 2021
Challenges and Gratefulness It has been a challenging last year in many ways for us all. Hope is on the horizon so that in the next few months we should all see a better pathway as Covid 19 loosens it's grip. Stained Glass commissions continue to be designed and made here in the studio. Private commissions and also repairs to existing glazing in between other works. I have several new commissions, one in Wimbledon, London and a transom window in a fabulous Edwardian doorway which is local to … [Read more...]
Commissons this Summer
Commissions Beavering away is the best way to describe activity this summer at the studio. The swallows in the eaves of the next door store room, chatter away all day long. When out flying their high pitch hum and song can be heard consistently in the summer air. They do inspire me as do the other birds and dogs which wander around and about to see what I am doing. It has been a busy summer so far for stained glass commissions! I have completed the 'Autumn' panel and am finishing 'Winter' of … [Read more...]
A snowy start to Spring
Commissions Since the wintery cold set in around December it has consistently made sub zero temperatures at the studio. Especially the three day snowstorm! Once warmed up and kettle bubbling early on I stay warm working on my commissions. I have completed Spring and Summer of the four seasons project for a private home in Bradford on Avon. I am making cartoons of Autumn and Winter so they will soon be underway. The cornish seascape for a new oak door in Corsham is a stained glass that has … [Read more...]
