A medieval cat wearing a crown is painted onto glass. There are red and blue patterned surrounds to the panel which is held up against a blue sky.

This little chap is here to announce that it is better to buy from a small, local craftsperson this year than a huge, global company.
Go on - make a maker's Christmas!
It has been decreed!

Back at the maker's table after a wonderful weekend at Ickworth House, Suffolk.
Thanks to everyone that came, chatted and bought my work.

A barn owl hunting over grassland and wildfowers is depicted in glass. The owl is poised for a successful hunt in the bottom panel which is set at sunset. The middle panel shows an orange streaky sky. The top panel is of dark, threatening storm clouds.

I finished this one-off beauty today with some very special glass.

A very small glass panel in 3 colours. Three swans are silhouetted in flight against a sunset sky with a dusky evening sky above

This one sat in my head for a long time before being made. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective.

The first two stages/firings are done. Each stage takes a full day. I wonder how many more before I am happy & can move on to the complementary glass and lead stages?

Be great to see you.

This one was meant to be a smaller panel but it had other ideas! It needed something else and I found just the right piece of glass to add to match the rays of sunlight.
I hope you like it!

A miserable boss-eyed lion is playing the fiddle whilst balacing on a tree branch. A red and blue border with a pattern runs up the side.

Am enjoying making these bits of medieval silliness!

Both portraits finished. I have both our children with me whilst they are out there living their wonderful lives! Perfect!

Yes! It sure is amazing stuff. The same piece can look entirely different depending on how the light hits it. I am so happy that you share my passion!

My tree panel glowed in the storm-lit room yesterday!
