The studio @Bank Vale Mill

Recently I have taken a studio at the Bank Vale Mill (formerly a water powered paper mill) in Hayfield. The mill is home to the Bank Vale Artisans - a collective of small independent craft and businesses.

Projects

I have taken on commissions large and small for narrowboat windows, personal pieces using both traditional leaded stained glass techniques and fused glass work. Leaded window costs start from £150 per square foot (yes we still measure traditionally) including the design - fitting is extra. I am happy to make anything from buttons to front door windows.

MAKING A STAINED GLASS WINDOW, an ancient craft, a slow craft, an endangered craft.

Cementing a window can take a couple of hours, it is then left to cure for at least 3 days and will cure completely in about 3 months.
