Do you sell your work already framed?<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div>
<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

My off-the-peg work is usually framed. Framing a piece of work gives a professional finish. From a health & safety perspective it also negates the need to handle the lead came, which forms the structure of the stained-glass panels. I can, however, provide work un-framed if requested.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where are you based?<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div>

\n

My workshop is situated in central York, Yorkshire, UK.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What words define your creative style<\/strong>?<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div>
<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

What message are you wanting to put out through your work?<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div>
<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

I want to engage more and more people with stained glass, and be part of the renaissance in vernacular, secular, and ecclesiastical stained-glass; to help raise an awareness and appreciation for its usage and employment in modern architecture and decorative schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy, healthy societies are surrounded by beauty and colour, that inspire feelings of joy and awe. ‘Awe’ is described as \u201cA feeling of reverential respect mixed with wonder or fear<\/em>\u201d in the Oxford English Dictionary. We can promote awe more wildly in society, through public art and architecture. An environment full of beautiful art and architecture is key to making people proud, positive, inspired, and gives confidence to achieve more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LET\u2019S BUILD BEAUTIFUL! Expand horizons, add innovative new materials in your project. Look to a positive future using a tried and tested centuries old traditional craft technique!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are your core values?<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div>
<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Using creativity to enhance quality of life. Producing fully hand-made products, and using quality materials. Passing on and promoting an ancient craft tradition, and helping to save an endangered craft. A deep understanding and respect for the craft, and its historical context.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is your inspiration?<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div>
<\/path><\/path><\/svg> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

The ethics of the Arts & Crafts movement; to make beautiful, handmade, often functional products, including one-off, bespoke pieces. The incredible skills of the medieval stained-glass craftsmen and the styles of the period. Having worked in such close proximity with medieval glass for many years I feel a strong connection with the medieval stained-glass craftsmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am inspired by natural forms, pattern, colour, and texture. I am an SPAB Fellow, and share the values of the Society, including its deep respect for all historic building materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work journey from a career in stained glass conservation, back to my own creativity, where I began as a young art student, has greatly informed my thinking. I have a love of flowers; learning through drawing and designing. Nature is therapy. I also have a great love of stained glass as a practical process and ancient craft \u2013 an important antidote in a technical age that is moving away from working with tools\/hands.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who is your ideal customer, and who is your work aimed at\/suitable for?<\/strong><\/p><\/div>

What I can do for your space<\/strong>: –<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stained-glass panels would work well in internal openings as well as external locations<\/strong> – bathrooms, porches, stairwells, corridors, room dividers\/screens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is preferable to have natural light behind it,<\/strong> to get the full impact, although it can also be fitted into a dedicated wall frame and be back-lit with artificial light<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very simple designs<\/strong> can have a big\/powerful impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality handmade glass gives a unique quality of light to a room <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Products crafted by Stained Glass Design & Craft are handmade, bespoke, locally made, and sustainable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design and dimensions of stained-glass for your home\/interior or outdoor space can be tailored to your pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can design and make the entire project, or I can make to your own design. I can adapt existing artwork to a stained-glass format, so that it is both strong and functional, as well as beautiful. I can adapt any existing or salvaged panels you may have, and incorporate them into a new panel or series of panels. I can repair any broken or damaged glass panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If required, stained-glass designed for an external opening can be protected from the elements in a triple glazed unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
