I have been designing and making stained glass professionally for most of my working life. I trained at Goddard & Gibbs Stained Glass Studios in London, one of the UK’s leading stained glass companies, where I became workshop manager before founding my own stained glass studio in 2001. I named it Abinger Stained Glass, after the village where I live in the Surrey Hills National Landscape.

As a dedicated stained glass artist and craftsman, my passion for this medium has never waned. Working closely to each client’s brief is my forte. Listening to my customers’ wishes, meeting on site, and sharing my knowledge, ideas, and enthusiasm for the craft ensures that every window created by Abinger Stained Glass is exceptional.

I use beautiful mouth-blown sheet glass from English Antique Glass, Lamberts Glass, and St Just in France, alongside stunning machine-drawn glasses from around the world. These allow for perfect obscuration - ideal for stained glass doors, screens, and front entrances. Alongside traditional single-glazed stained glass, I also create triple-glazed units that comply with modern planning regulations, encapsulating the stained glass artwork within.

As part of nurturing the next generation of stained glass makers, I am passing on my skills through teaching and mentorship. My first apprentice, Toby - of whom I’m immensely proud - trained through the Stained Glass Apprenticeship Scheme and now works at the wonderful Holywell Glass, where he continues to develop his craft in stained glass painting and restoration.

I am a long-standing member of the British Society of Master Glass Painters and a proud, trademarked member of Surrey Hills Enterprises - an organisation that recognises craftsman stained glass businesses demonstrating responsibility to conserve and enhance the Surrey Hills landscape.

My stained glass studio overlooks the valley at Abinger Hammer in the Surrey Hills National Landscape, offering endless inspiration for my designs and commissions. View my previous work in my gallery.

If you’re looking for a stained glass artist, or wish to visit the studio, please get in touch - I always love sharing my glass and my passion for this timeless craft.
