We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Steve from ‘Master Glass’, a renowned stained glass artist from Sutton Coldfield, to our school. Steve shared fascinating insights into the art of stained glass, bringing with him samples from a piece that was over 100 years old!

During the session, our pupils had the unique opportunity to create their own stained glass samples, learning how to use metal oxide to add colours to glass. Some pupils even got the chance to try their hand at glass cutting! This hands-on experience is a fantastic way to explore the traditional craft of stained glass and expand our pupils’ skills and knowledge in the field of art and design.

Mrs. H Van Daalen, our Subject Lead for Art, Photography, Design and Technology, commented, “Steve had a fantastic way with the pupils, delivering a calm, productive, and inspirational session where pupils could not only explore career opportunities in the arts but also create a piece to contribute to their final projects.”

We are so grateful to Steve for offering such an enriching experience and we look forward to seeing the stunning results from our talented pupils!
