Stained glass flower stems
I design and handcraft unique, delicate stained glass flowers with stems. They cast beautiful refractions and shadows. Each is delightful displayed individually, as part of an everlasting bouquet, or among houseplants or dried flowers for an extra pop of colour. Explore my shop to find the perfect gift, or start your own collection of everlasting flowers! My range includes birth flowers, spring flowers, wildflowers and other favourites, such as stained glass roses and sunflowers, with more being added all the time. I love the language of flowers and include information on some of the symbolism and meanings associated with each flower stem, so you can create your own personalised and thoughtful bouquet.
Peak District landscapes
I design and handcraft stained glass landscapes inspired by the views, colours and natural beauty of the Peak District National Park. I work with a wide variety of textured and streaky stained glass in different colours and shades to create pieces that cast refractions as beautiful as the glass itself. I also use delicate wire work and tiny glass beads to add an extra dimension of detail to my Peak District artwork. Explore my range of iconic vistas, including Stanage and Ladybower, each available with hanging chain, individually handcrafted oak stand, or both.
