About Cheryl...
Now that you’ve found me, let me tell you a little bit about myself.. I have been making and designing lead lights for about as long as it has taken me to raise three children and see them married with children of their own..so that’s a long time.
I decided that I wanted to be a stay at home mum and be able to have something to occupy me and fulfil my creative skills, so when I discovered a ‘Stained Glass Evening Class’ at our local college, I signed up, and did a one night a week term of tuition, and left with a determination to practice and perfect what I had learned.
​
Not only did I enjoy my new found challenge, but my admiration of the glass panels we see in our places of worship and not forgetting the period glass features of our friends and neighbours’ homes could now be something I could actually be part of ..
​
But for personal reasons I had something much deeper than that which made me more intent on really making this work, and that was my mental health issues, which presents itself as agoraphobia and the feeling of helpless anxiety when leaving my comfort zone, this would on all occasions make everybody else's normality a real trial for me, so I realised I had to make my own little paradise, here in the safety of the place that I felt most at ease, my home.
​
My Studio, is my solace, where I can create and feel secure, and I welcome you all into my personal sanctuary, where I hope you will feel as comfortable and inspired as I do.
​
If you are feeling low or lacking in confidence I hope my story encourages you to come and try something new, you will be in good company, and hopefully your interest will lead to many years of unlimited enjoyment and self gratification, a little something for yourself, and not to mention profit.
​
​​Passing this skill on to others gives me such joy and also meeting new people and knowing that this very important artistry will carry on into future generations makes all of this so worthwhile.
​
Classes are small up to five people at a time, so that means you get lots of ‘me’ time and you will leave here with something very special created by you, ready to hang in your homes.
​
Please contact me if you would like one to one tuition as this can be arranged.
