I’ve just spent time with lovely Shalini who is updating the Shedglas website. She is very patient since after a while as she shifts between screens a mist comes before my eyes…but time goes very quickly and now there are new pictures and details. The new workshop dates will be added very soon.

New workshop dates

Cathi — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:25:04 +0000

While it’s cold outside I am working on the Shedglas mailing list, adding all the new information that has gathered up. There have been a lot of contacts and interest in the introductory workshops so this could be an interesting year. At the same time I am working out the new dates for the . . . → Read More: New workshop dates

Personal projects

I’ve just helped a bloke finish all the elements for restoring the glass in his victorian summerhouse. It was an interesting project and I look forward to seeing the fully restored result. It is enjoyable having someone else working in the studio – I’m there to help when needs be while I carry on . . . → Read More: Personal projects

Warm workshop in the snow

Cathi — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:22:11 +0000

Snow on the ground giving a beautiful clean white light. Lots of little bits and bobs jobs: the two corgi suncatchers finished, the damaged window mended and delivered, some restocking in my workshop. And a good clear up, checking the glass stocks and replenishing. What fun! I’m starting design work for a door with . . . → Read More: Warm workshop in the snow

Just had a few beautiful days in North Norfolk, walking the beaches and watching the birds and seals. Visited Kings Lynn on the way and saw what looked to be an interesting stained glass window in the church there, but when I went in there was a disappointment, for me, since the majority of . . . → Read More:

New Year

Cathi — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 19:20:51 +0000

A new year and a new resolution, to write a bit more here and keep things up to date.

I’ve started the year with an unfortunate job – the lovely Victorian hallway that I completed last year was broken into on New Year’s Eve. Some thug smashed something like a crowbar through one . . . → Read More: New Year

Open Workshop and Breast Cancer Campaign

Cathi — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:04:32 +0000

Last weekend I took part in a village open gardens event. There are some wonderful gardens in this village, lots that take part in the National Garden Scheme, and although our garden is not quite to that standard I think we held our own!

I also held an open studio which was a great . . . → Read More: Open Workshop and Breast Cancer Campaign

Garden Glass

Cathi — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 14:29:57 +0000

I’m getting ready for the open garden and my open studio next weekend. I’m experimenting with some designs for the garden. A lovely man in the village who makes metal framework for me has done a panel holder in which I’ve inserted a colourful glass piece and it’s in the garden looking good! Great . . . → Read More: Garden Glass

This Friday, 13th, I’m at the Parish Church in Uppingham for the day, then on Sunday 15th it’s a day with Stamford Artisan’s Guild at Stamford Arts Centre. A good place to go, everything hand crafted by the stall . . . → Read More: Stars

Gift idea

Cathi — Wed, 11 May 2011 11:00:58 +0000

This year I’ve had several people on the workshops who’ve been given the day as a present. Very generous of people and it seems popular to give an experience of something new and to have something attractive at the end of it. I’ve just had a lovely card from one, mentioning the pleasant and relaxing . . . → Read More: Gift idea
