	A warm welcome to Abinger Stained Glass. My name is Amanda Winfield and I am passionate about glass! I have worked professionally in stained and decorative glass since 1986. I was trained at a prestigious London studio by elder craftsmen, in all the traditional techniques which have changed little since medieval times. In 2001 I set up Abinger Stained Glass and have been exploring new ideas, techniques and finishes to combine with the old to add interest and depth into my work. If you need advice on a new project in stained glass or with a restoration of stained glass, leaded panels or fused glass anywhere in the UK or Europe feel free to call me. Courses I offer fun and informative courses in stained glass, fused glass and copper foiling here at my workshop in Surrey. Dates and availabilty online HERE. For pictures of panels made on my courses click HERE Kirstie's Homemade Home In 2009 I took part in Episode 2 of the first series of Kirstie's Homemade Home for Channel 4. In the programme Kirstie Allsopp transforms her dilapidated house in Devon and along the way tries her hand at some traditional crafts. See her scrapbok here. In my workshop here in Abinger Hammer, Kirstie designed and made a stained glass panel much like you can make on my one day stained glass course. In 2010 I was thrilled to be asked back to make a window for Gemma and Shaun with the help of Kirstie Allsopp, for the Episode 1 of the second series of Kirstie's Homemade Home. This time we made a front door panel inspired by the stained glass already within their property See that episode here on 4OD - FF to 9:25 min.

What's happening at Abinger Stained Glass? - This Month - May 2013
It's beautiful here in The Surrey Hills. Spring has most definitely sprung and every morning I am walking our collie, Floss, on the North Downs above my workshop. Every day the landscape changes as the leaves appear and green up the hills and the ploughed fields are drilled and smoothed over. I find this landscape very inspiring, its great to get up a bit high, I know its not of the Lake District standard, but still, its great to look down on the world and muse. I have been taking lots of photos and sketches to use for some fused glass pictures I will be making soon. I am taking part in a local festival in July and have been asked to show some of my work in St James Church, Abinger Common. No pressure then. There is the most lovely East window there by the late Lawrence Lee. Click here to see it. Details of this event will be online in June. I completed quite a few projects last week and they will be fitted over the next few weeks. The door on the right is one that you may remember from the design. It is based on a Sussex landscape and an ancient oak tree. If you are looking for new courses the dates will be on line at the end of the month. See you soon Best Wishes A manda	The Oak
My Workshop I would like to introduce you to, My Workshop ! It has become obvious to me over the years that many of my students would love to carry on at home but just don't have the space. It can also be a bit of a hefty outlay on tools and equipment. This is why I am opening my doors to my students. It will be on an hourly basis and when you like! You might want to create for 2 hours a week or 10 and subject to other students and my workload we should be able to accommodate you. Of course this is a very busy little workshop so there will be a bit of shuffling about but I am positive this will work. I will store your projects for you in between times, you will have full use of a set of tools and if you like you can buy the materials from me for your project. I will be there to help and guide you through any little problems and glitches but in essence the space will be yours for the time booked! All you need to do is turn up and have fun! Email or phone me to find out availability and costs. Amanda
