Tales of the Burrows in Stained Glass
I was contacted by the school after they had seen my stained glass and wood sculptures on my website and wanted one for the children to enjoy in their calm garden.

Why craft fairs?
The UK is without doubt one of the most creative and diverse places on Earth.
The talent of makers and artists needs a release, a channel that allows both new and experienced people the chance to market and sell their work. They also need to network with their peers to exchange ideas and experiences. The craft fair can be that channel. It challenges people, it inspires and motivates people to do better and more.
Supporting your local craft fairs as a visitor and purchaser, helps to grow the community and encourage further creative, social and community wealth.
