Castleton School Stained Glass Windows

Castleton School  Stained Glass Windows

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!

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.

Hidden Talents Project

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.
