About the artist:
Jane makes stained glass art works that have multi layered, painted images.
She is inspired by the nature, history and folklore of her home in the Peak District. The glass is hand painted using traditional glass paints, often using many layers and textures, that are fired in the kiln. Jane uses vitreous paint, silver stain and enamel to paint on glass which is leaded up into panels in the traditional way. Each piece of glass is painted and fired 3 or 4 times building up layers and textures on the glass. Using age old traditional techniques, she has developed her own contemporary style of working, which is influenced by medieval stained glass, its history and imagery as well as the landscape of the Peak District. An area rich in folklore and tradition, such as well dressing, garlands, giants and stone circles, the peaks and dales provides ongoing inspiration for Jane’s narrative.
