If you'd like some inspiration, here are some of the stained glass pieces Sue and her students have made.
"I'm Sue and I live in Lyme Regis. I was always fascinated by stained glass and so I did a couple of taster courses in Bristol a few years ago followed by a Night School course at Strode College in Street. I then bought a starter kit and started making stained glass from home gradually improving my technique. I most enjoy using the "Tiffany" copper foil method of making stained glass as this allows you to make pieces of all shapes and sizes and doesn't take up too much space! I love every single piece that I make and each piece is unique.
If you'd prefer to buy stained glass decorations, we have a lovely selection available in our shop and on our website. They include Sue's work as well as that of the Devon Glass Studio.
