d and j watson ~ the glass barn studio
Northumberland
We are Dawn & Jan Watson and we have been running our stained glass studio since
1985 and we are still very much inspired by this fantastic medium. In August
2017 we moved our studio to Kirkharle Courtyard, surrounded by the stunning
Northumbrian countryside.. View of CoquetdaleOur stained glass work includes
commissions for private homes, places of worship, commercial and public
buildings. Much of our work is inspired by nature, the elements and the
picturesque countryside that surrounds us.Etched Feathers Our lives have been
steeped in creativity from childhood as both of us come from creative families
with arts and craft activities being very much a part of everyday life; we just
could not imagine life any other way. We have a love of glass, the colours, the
textures & the effects light can create and we never tire of experimenting with
ideas and techniques; that is why we do what we do. We have been passing on our
skills and knowledge to students for over a decade. We find it such a pleasure
to see their skills progress and become fuelled with the same enthusiasm and
creativity that has filled our lives for so many years.
