WHY STAINED GLASS?

Both of my parents were practiced in the art of glasswork by the time I was born. I grew up in a home filled with colour and light. During university, I was given the opportunity to pursue an art form, and I chose to bond with my father over the construction of my very first window - I've not looked back since.

HOW DO YOU START A WINDOW?

The first step is always to find inspiration. I am blessed to live in a national park and find a great deal of my subject material through taking photos of my surroundings. Once you find your visual, it's a simple step-by-step process to the completion of your unique work!

HOW LONG DOES EACH ARTWORK TAKE?

This is hugely dependent on how much time I am able to put into a window each week, and how large the piece is. I am still a proud beginner, and due to this, I am slower than average. My larger windows can take anywhere up to 50+ hours, while my smaller windows may be closer to 15+ hours.

IS THIS A HOBBY WORTH PURSUING?

Absolutely! I would encourage everyone to give stained glass a go. It's challenging, yet rewarding. It's time and space-consuming, yet heartwarming. For any beginner, like myself, it's important to find someone experienced to help you with the tricks of the trade. If you find yourself a good mentor, you're halfway there.
