GREETINGS FROM. BRISTOL, UK
Thank you for stopping by..
​
Hi, I'm Charlotte, a stained glass and multimedia artist living in Bristol in the UK. 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 and calmness swimming brings to my life,. The feeling I get from being immersed in water is what I would like to portray in my work. I am drawn to the beautiful medium of glass and love that this coloured light creates reflections and shadows similar to the fluidity of water. I have a passion for medieval stained glass and can often be found in cathedrals and churches seeking inspiration and sketing out patterns.
I love nothing more than knowing my work is appreciated as much as I enjoy the process of making it. Please take a dip into my Galleries and look at what Ive been up to!
Charlotte
