Conservation Skills and Interpretation Project


2009
A recent project for Knowsley Council gave the chance for over 150 children from 5 schools to try their artist skills at designing and making a stained glass window. 

Passing on my passion for stained glass is one of the best bits about my work. This project with Knowsley Council called ‘Look to the Future: Celebrate Our Past’ gave me the opportunity to do just that. The concept of the project was to introduce school children to traditional construction skills. I taught in five primary and secondary schools in Knowsley near Liverpool. I gave a talk and demonstration, which gives an understanding of how stained glass windows are made then I got the children involved by giving them the chance to design and make a small stained glass overlay window. These were made using shapes cut from coloured film, applied to a sheet of clear polycarbonate and then contoured using lead strips. The results have been fantastic with the project really catching the children’s imagination.

The project was extended to the Knowsley Flower Festival where we helped 75 visitors make stained glass during the day of the show.
