CLARE HART
Stained Glass Artist
I studied Ceramics and Glass at Middlesex Polytechnic in the mid 1980s, completing my sandwich year at Goddard and Gibbs Stained Glass Studio in London. After graduation, I moved into studio space at the Southbank Crafts Centre in London and exhibited mixed media ceramic and leaded glass pieces at various galleries across the UK. In 1992 an IRA bomb forced the closure of the South Bank Craft Centre and I moved to studio space in North London and established Glazed Expressions doing residential commissions and restorations alongside exhibiting my work. I'm now in South Lincolnshire, offering classes and workshops in my own studio but also teach at other locations, such as Ely Cathedral.
I enjoy working with glass in all its forms, stained, fused and mosaic. It has a unique quality to show colour and texture whilst allowing light to shine through. Having been lucky enough to work with glass for over 20 years, its a pleasure to share my passion with students of all ages and abilities.
Claire teaches colourful classes for students of all abilities. She offers classes in sun catchers and mosaaic bird baths.
