Rachel's History

After almost 30 years in the Civil Service, I attended a night class in Stained Glass at a local college, in Stirling in 2005. Within weeks I was addicted and ordered all the glass, tools and equipment.

I went on various training courses in glass fusing and trained with Zurich based Erna Piechna, a well renowned and respected glass artist with expertise in kiln formed work.

I then successfully started and ran my own glass supply business and training studio for almost 10 years with my Husband, before moving down to the Scottish Borders for a lifestyle change, where I re-discovered my passion for art glass.

Georgia's History

As my parents ran their own glass supply business, I grew-up surrounded by glass, artists and training workshops. From a young age I learned the art of stained glass and was introduced to glass fusing. This allowed me to create unique glass designs for my Art submissions in High school.

Instead of glass I ended up choosing to study Fashion Technology, and graduated from Heriot-Watt University with a Masters degree in business and design. After working in the Fashion industry down South, I've returned home to the Borders and rekindled my love of glass.

Currently, I am adding to my skillset by training as a silversmith to incorporate my Mum’s beautiful fused glass jewellery with handcrafted sterling silver findings and settings.
