Welcome to our new resident maker

We are delighted to welcome Heidi Williams as our new resident maker!

Heidi is a talented artist and stained-glass practitioner whose passion for creativity and craftsmanship has been at the heart of her life for as long as she can remember.

Having graduated with a degree in Fine Art as a mature student, Heidi developed her painting skills in oils, exploring subjects inspired by flora and fauna, landscapes and the occasional portrait. Her artistic journey then led her to discover the beauty of stained glass, where she found the perfect combination of art, design and traditional heritage craft.

Fascinated by the possibilities of working with glass, Heidi has continued to expand her skills, exploring glass painting and techniques such as sgraffito, which have added another dimension to her creative practice. Today, she is proud to work as both a glass artist and stained-glass practitioner.

For Heidi, learning and developing as an artist is fundamental. She is passionate about exploring new skills and techniques, and particularly enjoys working with people to bring their ideas to life through bespoke stained-glass artwork. She considers it a privilege to create unique pieces that reflect someone's vision while helping to preserve and celebrate this wonderful heritage craft.

Combining traditional techniques with the use of a glass kiln to fire painted glass, Heidi is excited to create beautiful, lasting works of art that can be enjoyed for many decades to come.

We are thrilled to have Heidi joining our creative community and look forward to seeing her beautiful work develop and sharing her passion and skills with our visitors. Please join us in giving Heidi a very warm welcome!
