STAINED GLASS PAINTING DEMONSTRATION AT HOPE & IVY x WILLIAM MORRIS SOCIETY DRESS COLLECTION LAUNCH

I was recently invited to take part in the launch of British dress brand Hope & Ivy’s new collection of William Morris print dresses in collaboration with The William Morris Society.

Hosted at Pom London, the weekend was a wonderful event with an evening reception which included talks by Claudia Suckling from The William Morris Society and Angelina Bakalarou from BBC’s The Repair Shop, on the importance of preserving traditional crafts for future generations.

There was a series of artist demonstrations over the weekend - I gave a live stained glass painting demonstration where I showed how I paint the first layer of my William Morris-inspired quarries using a fine brush and traditional glass paint, and there was also basket weaving and hand-painted wallpaper demonstrations from La Basketry and Sian Zeng.

You can read more about the weekend over on the Hope & Ivy Journal and there is also a lovely Meet the Maker feature with all the artists who took part in the weekend.

I’ve been a huge fan of Alice Tatham’s beautiful photographs of the Dorset countryside that she shares on Instagram for a few years now, so I jumped at the opportunity when she asked if she could take some photographs in my stained glass studio for her new series of Meet the Artist interviews + studio tours on her blog. You can read the whole interview here. Here are a few of my favourite images from the shoot.
