Heather McNeilly first learned the craft of making stained glass windows more than 12 years ago, using the traditional leaded light method.

Initially working from a spare bedroom, she received such a steady flow of commissions that her hobby quickly grew into a flourishing business.

In her well established studio, as well as designing and creating larger pieces such as windows and door panels, Heather also makes a range of striking stained glass giftware, including mirrors, light catchers, lamps and lanterns, her love of nature frequently being reflected in her work.

Heather now gives lessons in the art of stained glass - see her website or contact her for details.
