I am a glass artist who's been designing and creating bespoke contemporary stained glass commissions since 1998. I love to create glass pieces that are pulled in from the things around me that inspire me in life. I would love to help you create your own glass piece of your choice to take home with you at the end of our workshop together. We have flexibility on days/times for workshops, daytime, evenings and weekends, so do get in touch! Many thanks, Ruth x
