~~ Glass Painting ~~

traditional glass artist, painted bird by zoe henderson using traditional hand painted glass methods including firing in the kiln

I use traditional methods of glass painting techniques using a combination of paints, enamels and stains. These are fired in the kiln to make them permanent and durable.

I paint restoration pieces to replace old and broken sections along with new painted panels - for windows, doors, transoms, or standalone pieces of art work.

Commissions include restoration work, roundels and details for new panels, business logos, birthday and wedding gifts as well as painted detail on hanging mirrors panels.

Painted English Rose

This English Rose started as a sketch. Paints and enamels are fired at different temperatures - this rose required a number of firings in the kiln using a combination of glass paints, enamels and silver stain.

Much of my painted work focuses on nature. I specialise in painting flowers, birds, and insects.
