Thank you for stopping by..

Hi, I'm Charlotte, a compulsive maker! I always have several projects on the go. and if there's a craft, I've probably done a course in it. Making is in my bones. I guess it was inevitable when you have a Boat Builder as a Dad and a Mum who was also a serial crafter. My journey began at Art College, firstly a Foundation Course then a Fine Art Degree where I specialised in Sculpture. Since then I have always made and sold in various capacities.

I created Leadlight Studio five years ago after taking a short course in Stained Glass where I made a very over ambitious panel that I didn't finish in the class so ended up teaching myself. I made a lot of mistakes along the way but my perseverance paid off, I fell in love and dived in headfirst.

I now make bespoke art pieces inspired by my love of the sea, swimming, art deco and the outdoors. My work is created using both traditional lead and copper foil methods. I love to include hand painted elements which are fired in my pink kiln who goes by the name of Barbie.

I enjoy the sense of clarity swimming brings to my life and try to reflect that in my work. I am drawn to this beautiful medium of coloured light that creates reflections and shadows similar to the fluidity of water.

I love nothing more than knowing my work is appreciated as much as I enjoy the process of making it. In the past few months I have been working on some exciting new work called The Lido Collection with the help of my mentor Derek Hunt. You can see my journey on Make it at Market  (Series 2 Ep 7) which is due to air on Tues 5th Dec.

In the meantime why not take a dip into my Galleries and see!
