Kirstie Allsopp came to Abinger Stained Glass to learn how
to make a leaded panel for her bathroom. Stained glass can
transform a room and Kirstie was very keen to match the colours
of her bathroom with those in her stained glass. With Amanda's
help and tuition Kirstie Allsopp cut the glass and leaded
the pieces together to create her very own free hanging stained
glass panel. Her creation was filmed for her series, "Kirstie's
Homemade Home", from Channel Four.
"Kirstie's Homemade Home" follows Kirstie as she
transforms a dilapidated seaside house in Devon into the ultimate
homemade home, using traditional methods and crafts sourced
from within the UK.
In each episode, Kirstie visits craftspeople and "gets
practical", being taught the basics of their various
crafts to create personal pieces to decorate and accessorise
her home. Cushions, mosaics, candles, glassware and, with
Amanda at Abinger, stained glass panels.
Kirstie says, 'I want to prove that you can create something
unique and wonderful using amazing artisans from around the
UK rather than going down the same old mass produced route.
I think it is possible to budget sensibly and buy British
and I'm keen to show that.'
