Come and celebrate the heritage of traditional craft at the Heritage Hands Festival in Sandgate! I’m delighted to be taking part in this inaugural event, and I’ll be giving a short talk on the history, techniques and lasting value of stained glass. I’ll share the specialist knowledge behind the craft, explain why it matters that we keep these skills alive and protect the leadlights that give so many of our older homes their character. Whether you own a home, love handmade things or are simply curious about how light and colour become art, I’d love to meet you there.
