History |
After almost 30 years in the Civil Service, Rachel was first introduced to art glass in the form of a night class she started at the local college in stained glass, in Stirling in 2005. Within weeks she was addicted and couldn't wait until the following week. So, she ordered all the tools and equipment and a whole host of glass and started doing more and more glass on her own at home. It was then the rest of the family got involved also.
She then trained with Zurich based Erna Piechna, a well renowned and respected glass artist with expertise in kiln formed work. Rachel successfully started and ran her own glass supply business and training studio for almost 10 years before moving down to the Scottish Borders for a lifestyle change. Based in a small but well equipped studio in The Craft Courtyard at Harestanes, near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, Rachel has re-discovered her passion for art glass. |
