You can see a selection of my work and download desktop images for your computer from our Flickr gallery, or you can read about what inspires me to work in the stained glass creative industry. You are welcome to visit my workshop online, and to contact me if you wish to discuss a commission.
I work independently and have designed and made work for churches,
private houses and public buildings, constantly developing and refining
my style. I have taught night classes for many years and occasional
workshops, as well as giving talks about my work to various groups and
organisations about stained glass design.
I moved house in 2002 and converted my garage
into a studio where I have produced my largest window to date, 90 sq.ft.
for Bunbury church in Cheshire.
Dear Ann, Your window was fitted today and looks wonderful! The fitters were quite bowled over by it. Thank you very much!
First off, the glass is stupendous - we can't stop looking at it. Everyone who has seen it has been bowled over, not least the two chaps who put it in who were entranced ... thank you so much for creating precisely what I wished for, and ineffably more.
Hello Ann!, I just thought I ought to say thank-you, again, for your skill, and what a joy my kingfisher window is! Our neighbours are all, by turns, amazed, intrigued, and possibly even jealous. Had a very stormy night/morning, with high winds and torrential rain and hail. It's now cleared to blue skies and sunshine, and the window is just sparkling, glinting and dazzling, with the different colours and textures of the glass! Absolutely amazing!
Dear Ann, We travelled down to Dalton-le-Dale yesterday to see the window, and were delighted with what you have done. It's a lovely addition to a lovely church. It has a lightness of touch and freshness that suites the floral subject, and had Mum seen it she would have loved it very much. Friends in the village also thought it was lovely.
Morning Ann, I cannot tell you how utterly thrilled we are with the windows you have done for us. Thank you so much. I think particularly the large stained glass window makes the entrance to the house just as I'd imagined. Many thanks.
Dear Ann, Thank you so much for designing the beautiful window in memory of our parents. I love opening the church door and the first thing I see is the window
Dear Ann, The compliments keep coming, over and over again, what a wonderful window, and it certainly is. Thank you so much Ann.
Hi Ann – an enormous thank you. The glass looks amazing and has received many compliments already, it's even more beautiful than I imagined it could be, thank you so very much and thanks for the safe delivery as well.
Dear Ann, We are delighted with the window. We have had many visitors to the church who have all been very complimentary and appreciative. Many have commented on such a striking but beautiful design.
