About Me
The Piotr Frac studio/ workshop at the Crypt of St John Bethnal Green in East London. taught me everything about how to make stained glass.. Piotr's studio is a place of experimentation, humour and creativity. I don't know of another place like it. A diamond in the rough.

Working slowly on the Certificate & Diploma at the . As this list suggests, I believe other arts and crafts can influence my glass practice.
I am a family mediator. A fascinating job, which also inspires my work in glass.
Before discovering stained glass I have also spent several years (overlapping) being...
... a dogsbody in the City of London
- a teacher of heritage guiding and public speaking
... a counsellor at Childline
... a news editor for ITN at ITV News London.
- a podcaster about unusual sites in London including a huge series on the City of London Churches and the stained glass contained within them.
- a tour guide.. Very nerdy, but I'm a fully qualified and accredited London and SE Blue Badge Guide, Westminster Guide and City of London Guide. Like the mediation, these jobs have inspired my glass work. I appreciate the historical, cultural, architectural, and current social issues in and around me. All these experiences have informed my approach to stained glass... basically that; I'm interested in people and their lives. Visually, I'm forever observing the environment around me for inspiration and understanding of our world. I aim to encourage people to look at and think beyond the beautiful and the surface.
