Hello, Craft Enthusiasts!
I'm Will, a qualified teacher and now full-time stained glass artist based in Bedfordshire. After many years in the classroom, I made the leap into stained glass artistry and haven’t looked back! I combine my love of teaching with my passion for this beautiful and traditional craft.
Why Stained Glass?
What began as a hobby quickly turned into a calling. As someone who started out as a complete beginner, I know just how daunting (and exciting!) it can be to try something new. That’s why my workshops are welcoming, relaxed, and packed with encouragement and support. Stained glass is a beautiful art form, and it’s a way to capture light, emotion, and colour all at once.
What to Expect in My Classes:
With my background as a qualified teacher and practicing artist, I’ve designed my courses to be practical and informative. If you're totally new to stained glass or building on previous experience, you’ll be supported every step of the way. No pressure, just plenty of creativity and a satisfying sense of achievement.
Join the Creative Adventure:
Come and discover the joy of stained glass for yourself. You’ll leave with a beautiful handmade stained glass panel and maybe even a new favourite hobby.
