Glass Artist

Commissions and Repairs

Glasswork is the most fully artistic side of my practice. I specialise in leaded Glasswork and also with Kiln-fired Vitreous Painting, enamelling and silver staining. I have honed my skills with extensive professional training and research to be able to both produce work of my own style for commissions and also to emulate past styles for sympathetic repair or panel matching work. With a wide range of glass and equipment at the workshop I can create everything from simple to extremely complex. Stained Glass should be a joy to behold whether in a domestic or public space and I work with the client to ensure my ideas match their vision in this beautiful medium.

Craftsman

Heritage Building Crafts

Specialising in Lime Plastering, Cob renovation and stonework, but with extensive knowledge in the other related fields of carpentry and glazing these traditional crafts are the Building Craft side of my practice. With an aesthetic training in how to make simple but elegant solutions to building and renovation problems I often work for the client both in advising as well as in the practical application. I have a particular skill in identifying sources of damp and I also champion eco based solutions and technological innovations which combine both the best from traditional approaches and the cutting edge of Green products.

Teacher

Courses and advice

I am passionate about the need to pass on and encourage skills and knowledge in the traditional crafts. So at the Devon Applied Arts Workshop (or “DAA Workshop” for short) I run courses each month in Stained glass, both for beginners and experienced students. The courses are both entertaining and intensive and with Superfast kiln use available and a purpose built light and airy space it can offer the best in student experience for young or old. I also teach part time degree level at Exeter College School of Art, and periodically run freelance traditional building and glass courses for a variety of clients and organisations.
