FAQs

How should I hang my glass?

Glass is fragile and should be handled carefully. Hanging from suction cups or command strips is not recommended - these can fail suddenly. A sturdy screw or hook, dependant on the weight of the piece, is preferable.

How should I look after my new glass art?

Minimal cleaning is best, just dust as necessary and wipe with a damp cloth if required. Avoid using anything abrasive as this could remove patina from solder lines or scratch your glass. Over time the metal may oxidise - this is a natural process, but if you would like to keep solder lines shiny, you can apply a small amount of carnauba wax, and polish with a soft cloth.

What is your stained glass made of?

I cut and grind glass to size, edge with copper foil and solder them together. This is known as the copper foiling or 'Tiffany' method of stained glass. Unless otherwise stated, all my stained glass products are made with 60/40 solder that does contain lead. Unless ingested, this is not harmful to you. As a precaution, keep out of reach of children and wash your hands after handling. 

Can I purchase your products in person?

I attend numerous craft events a year - you can find an updated list of dates on my social media pages.

I also currently have a small stock of products at Kick Up The Arts in Melton Mowbray. I also run some workshops here - if you're the crafty type, I recommend paying them a visit to see all the great events they have on offer!

Do you run any workshops?

I run a few workshops a year, usually focusing on making small, achievable pieces that people can finish in a single afternoon or evening session. Check my 'Workshops' page or my social media to keep up to date with these. 

If you have an appropriate space and would be interested in hosting a workshop, please get in touch!

Do you do custom work?

I sure do! Any of the smaller pieces you see on my website or socials can be remade for you in custom colours, or you can head over to my 'Commissions' page to read about how to request a larger bespoke art piece.

How does shipping work?

At present I ship to the UK only from my studio in Leicestershire, though I have shipped internationally in the past and hope to return to doing so in the future!

Items that are ready to go will typically ship in 3-7 days. The timelines regarding custom work will be discussed before work begins.
