Amanda Blair
I have been designing and making stained glass professionally for over thirty five years. My passion for this medium has never waned and in fact I eagerly embrace new techniques to keep my work fresh.
Working to a clients brief is my forte. Listening to my customers wishes, meeting on site and sharing my knowledge, ideas and enthusiasm for the craft ensures that the stained glass windows I make are exceptional.
To work with recent planning laws I have overcome the restraints put on large installations of single glazed stained glass. I can supply my customers with triple glazed solutions in art glass where the stained glass is encapsulated within a sealed unit. These cannot be guaranteed and purists may feel this lessens the aesthetics of stained glass. However, I am very happy to offer this wonderful solution to allow my clients to have beautiful stained glass that complies with new planning laws and saves energy.
I am a long standing member of British Society of Master Glass Painters, The Contemporary Glass Society and I occasionally exhibit as part of Surrey Artists Open Studios.
My workshop has inspiring views over the valley at Abinger Hammer and this supplies endless inspiration for my own work.
