Here are the windows painted and finished. I have used black stained glass paint as well as a bit of coloured enamel. They are quite small, 38cm x 36cm, which has been very nice as recently a lot of my commissions have been huge!

Iv’e been working with the children at Castleton School, to design and make 4 new windows for their school. The windows are to commemorate 150 years of the school.
The children have been working on drawings and collages to illustrate different aspects of the school
Such as the Castle in the village,
The school building and the church.
I have created 4 designs based on the pupils art work, and have so far cut out the glass and started the painting.
I will post some more pictures, when the painting has been done.
Last week I ran a 2 half day course at Rural arts. The first afternoon we got to grips with the basics of glass painting. Pieces were fired overnight and made up into leaded panels the following afternoon. I was really pleased with the results, some lovely panels made.
I have been working with The Older People’s forum on a project called Hidden Talents, that employs artists to go into residential homes and work with the Residents,their families and carers. The project took place over 4 weeks and I worked at 4 different Homes. I am really pleased with the results, but the best thing was getting to know the residents, and seeing how much they enjoyed the project.
Getting excited now about the forthcoming exhibition at Rural Arts, with my work alongside some lovely prints by Hester Cox. Here are a few of my pieces
