Stained Glass Hello again, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about some important 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 … [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...]

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...]
Winter in Canada/Springtime in England 2020
The past three months have been innovative, adventurous and inspiring. I travelled to the South shore of Montreal to stay and work. This January I taught a class at Studio du Verre in the copper foil method. My class of seven students were lively and intrigued they achieved a lovely colourful panel each of approx 12'' x 9''. It was wonderful teaching in Quebec and therefore in Quebecois and English, we had fun. I am happy to say I am back in England and have an assortment of commissions and … [Read more...]
Autumnal colours and wintery winds
The Autumn leaves are gently falling and piling up in the corners everywhere for scurrying animals to hide in or take as extra bedding for the winter days. I have completed my time here at Woolley grange farm studios, it has been six years and it has flown by with so many busy days, fun students sessions, blood, sweat and tears. I have loved every minute of it!! Angle of Light Stained Glass will continue once I have moved completely and landed in Quebec, Canada where I once had a studio and will … [Read more...]
Springtime News from Angle of Light 2019
How the winter flew here at the studio on Woolley grange farm! I have completed a brand new work, a large stained glass window in memory of Laurence Glye Hodson and his wife Marjorie Elizabeth Hodson. It is for the beautiful chapel of St Peter's, Petersham, Surrey. It took around four and a half months to complete the new work and the opening night was filled with warmth and joy. It is so lovely after months of deliberating and working hard to achieve exactly the desired effects that the stained … [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...]
December blues & Brightening days
Restoration and Repairs My stained glass workshop has a lot of restoration work and repairs! The windows I am restoring at the moment are from the bell tower of St Anne's, Bowden hill, Wiltshire. They are leaded lights, glass quarries using antique glass from EAG in Birmingham (English Antique glass). I also replicate the painted broken stained glass which are painted and stained in the traditional manner of the 13th century. Restoring the windows of historic buildings and churches will give … [Read more...]
English Summertime
The last few months I have visited buildings in need of restoration and new stained glass work. I have meandered through routes to little villages, chapels and churches. I have visited new places, talked with people eager to restore or have a new stained glass in their building or home. A rewarding warming time in more ways than one. Glass Repairs I have made repairs to a huge tiffany lamp will bring back years of warmth through colour and light. I have also made repairs using conservation … [Read more...]
