Gallus Glass

• I am a graduate of Glasgow School Of Art , Honours Degree in Drawing and Painting 1983. I started to work in stained glass as a complement to my painting.
I specialising in original, affordable free hanging leaded glass panels in contemporary and traditionally based designs. But also work on commissions, large and small, for individual clients and undertake repair and restoration work.
I am influenced by the dominating Scottish landscapes and by the tradition of historical stained glass work, translating them into my own contemporary style.
The glass has a huge range of possibilities of colour, intensity and texture and this can often dictate the design. Stained glass is experiencing a revival in interest as people realise the value of traditional crafts. Glass panels, however small, are always a point of focus in the home or public environment and respond well to changes in light as the day and seasons progress.
Lately I have been exploring narrative pieces that represent People Places and Time.
I am lucky enough to be able to work at home and have had a spectacular bespoke studio built for me in my garden. For Perthshire Open Studios I am delighted to have been asked to join other amazing artists at the Barns.

Angela @ Artisanand

Artisanand was established in 2014, having the gallery allows me to exhibit my art along with the art of other emerging and established Perthshire artists. We offer an eclectic and quirky selection of artwork in many media, including lots of 3D, in a light and bright gallery space, the front of which is entirely glass, the artwork is the focus and there is room to stand back and enjoy.

In September, as part of the Open Studios Festival, there will be a mixed exhibition featuring many of our gallery favourites. There may be a few popping in to say hello and possibly doing a demo or two, check out the website for details nearer the time.

During Open Studios I’ll be working on a number of new projects, 3d sculptural wall art in Harris Tweed, upcycled and re-upholstered furniture, lamp bases and lampshades, decoupaged scallops, felt jewellery and sculptures. I love trying new techniques and testing my skills with new challenges. Come along and see what I'm working on and perhaps have a go?
