Acorn Stained Glass Studio is run by myself, Martin Farrant. Although I am based in Honiton, Devon, I have previously been in North Wales and Anglesey for 4 years after returning from the U.S.A and have completed various commissions, repairs and also made and marketed smaller items of stained glass in these areas through the studio, craft fairs and other outlets, both in the commercial and residential sector.
When
we think of stained glass we nearly always think of churches, and beautiful
though they are, there are so many more uses for original stained glass
than what may seem to be obvious. These could include lampshades, terrariums,
chessboards, clocks, mirrors and sun catchers or even stained glass sculptures,
all of which can be made using the "tiffany style" of stained
glass, as opposed to windows which are usually constructed of glass in
between pieces of lead; the latter sometimes known as "leaded light
windows". The only restriction to what can be created is the limit
of our own imagination. Of course I make and restore windows of both techniques
as well. If you have any ideas or if you have any questions or maybe wish
to talk about a possible commission (no matter how small), please do not
hesitate to contact
me.
