I started my stained glass objects in Germany. It was easy to copy, make
and sell terrariums in local markets.
Whilst in Bristol, I came across the Hand Made Glass (HMG) stained glass shop run by Jim
Adlington, Clare Maryan Green and Graham Kaye. I asked for an apprenticeship
and got one lasting 3 years.
During this time, I made leaded stained glass for churches, public buildings and
private homes.
This was where I first became acquainted with artists who would have strong influence upon me.
