The Lido Collection by Leadlight Studio.
Small one off pieces are released throughout the year.
They are handcut and painted with Reusche and Debitus grisaille paints, then kiln fired several times.
Each one is unique. They are £125 each and will be available on my website intermittently.

We've done Couture...
Well, this is Haute Couture!
Im in love with this one. It reminds me of a rockpool.
(Very difficult to film because of the reflection and the depth of the layers/marks)
WIP coming soon

As the stained glass world rests on a knifes edge in so many ways, we all need a little magic in our lives.
I am constantly encouraged and inspired by our wonderful glass community. They do say like attracts like. I'm very grateful to call so many of you friends, even if we haven't met yet.
Are all glass artists a little bit wonderfully bonkers?
Thank you to my lovely friend Kate @north_lakes_stained_glass for the gift of my crazy Leadlight Studio Wand. I shall go forth and use it frivolously! And thank you @creativeglassguild
for putting up with me every Wednesday as I inspect each and every luscious sheet before committing.
I feel extremely lucky to have such a brilliant and knowledgeable resource local to me

I have always had a lovely of stationary and pens.
Here are a few of my favourites that I use with glass paints. Many of them are handmade.
I realised that the fountain pen that I got when I was twelve is brilliant as it has an internal plunger mechanism that sucks the paint up.
You just have to get your paint blend right, a lot of grinding and resting.and I use different blends for different pens. Each of these pens makes different marks.
I'll try and do a demo when I have time.
Do you have a particular pen that you love? I'd love to know as I'm always on the look out for new ones!
I have my eye on the Sailor Hokoro, the Kakimori and The Field Mouse by Tom's Studio..

I have nothing new to show as I've begun my preorders from the recent surge of orders.
Thanks for being patient. I'm going to show a few process videos as I make them, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, here's a little birthday gift I made for a friend!

Here are some random views of my studio!
It's in my house. It's the old dining room.
I wish it was bigger, lighter, and less cluttered.
They do say a creative mind is rarely tidy!
Also when searching for this song I always thought Phil was singing St St Studio!!!
Google has enlightened me..
Sussudio" is a nonsense word invented by Phil Collins for his 1985 hit song, chosen simply because it fit the song's rhythm and felt good to sing...🤣

Palette Patterns...
Sometimes, i think some of my best work is made on the palette..🤣
It's a temporary vision that I often photograph before smearing it over and carrying on with my actual work!
Goodbye wintery forest..

WARNING - GLASS GEEK POST.
Look away if you're just here for the pretty stuff
Factory made glass has 2 sides. A tinned side and a non tinned side. During manufacturing, the glass is rolled on a bed that creates a trace residue of tin. When using glass paints or stains, it is best to work out which side is which as various products react differently in the kiln. For example, painting on the tinned side will increase the intensity of colour in a stain.
For years, I have had many people explain how to determine which side is which. I have tried the drop test and the side view and have a uv detector but the testing has all still been slightly ambiguous.
Until now!
Thanks to @zoe_boulton_glass for this simple demonstration!
(sorry for the shot up my nose..🤣)

Something a little different!
A little exploration in enamels allowing such a rich and vivid colour pallete. Im looking forward to slotting this method into my work soon.
The possibilities are exciting!

Update after the first firing on the @ritashimelfarb glass painting course @glass_swansea_college_of_art
It looked great before it went in, I thought I was done!
Then a lot of the deep red tones burnt off on the first fire. Now it's wishy-washy. But, the foundations are permanently there. Now it's easier to see tonal values and what i can build upon to make it deeper.
It's an odd feeling staring at an image intently for hours, I've become quite attached, and they aren't as intimidating as my first thoughts.
I'll keep adding to it/them
