Hello and welcome to Stained Glass Craft, here you will find a warm welcoming studio in Brea, Camborne, Cornwall run by Dennis, John, and a lot of inspiration from our dad, Jack , we started working with stained glass back in 1977, coloured glass wasn't easy to get hold of but we did find a place in Sunderland called Hartley Woods here we would find all sorts of beautiful coloured glass opaque and cathedral it was like an Aladdins cave we were never disappointed when we used to go and buy glass from there, which is what we have tried to duplicate in our own studio (on a lot smaller scale of course) so when people come to visit our studio we offer them a vast range coloured glass. We run courses I day, 2 day 3 day, weekly tuition, team building sessions, all you have to do is make an enquiry or give Dennis a ring to discuss your stained glass needs.

Was born in Africa and lived in Lagos until her 9th birthday when her family moved back to the UK and more specifically Cornwall. Moving to Cornwall at such a key age shaped her passions and future in so many ways. Having always been in swimming pools and the sea in Africa the love of water intensified on the beautiful beaches and in the crashing Atlantic surf of the Cornish Coastline. The sea and its different moods have always been in her life. Being a keen surfer in her teens her love of playing in and with the elements became all encompassing when she discovered the thrill of kitesurfing. A pioneer in the early days of the sport she set up one of the first schools in the UK, and competed on the world circuit with her highest ranking being 3rd in the world. She also enjoyed other kiting challenges and set a world record by kitesurfing from Cornwall to Ireland ( under her maiden name Wharry), She discovered Glass by accident, through her landlady whilst studying at Falmouth art college, falling instantly in love with the look and the process of working with glass she decided to specialise in Architectural Stained Glass at Swansea. Though not actively working with glass during her sporting career, the fascination never left. Now retired from competition, glass is back as the focus of her passion. “Its colour, its reflections and translucent quality instantly captured my heart. To me it has a similar quality to water. It is enigmatic you can look at it, or through it. It is there and not there and can create a potent visual effect, either opulent or subtle. I love the challenge of designing for different buildings, interiors and people, whether a large architectural piece or an intensely personal small piece. “ Dreya
