My first foray into the world of stained glass was making a leaded stained glass panel. I enjoyed it so much that I set up my home studio in my garage.

 After a year of working solely  on leaded stained glass panels I tried my hand at copper foiled suncatchers, specialising in birds.

More recently I purchased a glass kiln. Now I also make fused glass coasters, dishes including soap dishes, tea-light holders, bowls, plates, windchimes, lanterns, pictures and standing scenes.

Glass painting is a new skill I have learnt, where the paint is fired into the glass.

On 10 July 2019 I was selected for membership of the Essex Craft Guild for the quality of my work. Unfortunately the Guild closed last year but I am now a member of the Essex and Borders Crafters.

In late October 2020 I started selling my glass at The Art Place in the Meadows Shopping Centre in Chelmsford, Essex and continue to do so.
