Thought we’d post something bright and warming on this dreich day, Autumn Leaves’, a traditional leaded panel. We’d also like to thank all our customers for braving the weather and supporting us and our little gallery of glossy, glassy, goodies. Open 12 till 4 Sunday 😎

Today’s weather may be giving you the blues but hopefully our ‘Blue Blooms’ stained glass panel might brighten your day!

Thought I would post a little selection of some of our Glossy Glassy Goodies all available at our Studio Gallery or online. Although if you visit the Studio, you will find other work that's not on our online shop and we get the added bonus to say "Hello".

After a week of sunshine I thought for tonight I would post ‘Cornflowers’, a recently completed stained glass panel. Traditionally painted, fired and leaded and now on display in the Gallery catching the Summer sunshine.

Todays post shows a selection of our ‘Northumbrian Trees’. These are some of our most popular fused glass curves which look great on the windowsill or with a candle behind. From left to right - Old Friend, Sycamore Gap & Summer Fields. Which do you like best?

Some time ago I shared ‘Evening Light’ which was well received and was snapped up quickly in the Gallery. I’ve been working on a few more Northumbrian scenes, keeping the theme of ‘Evening Light’. So, for this evenings post here is ‘Rolling Hills’ from the Evening Light series.

38 years! We’re feeling blessed to have been able to spend our working life doing what we love. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our fantastic customers and friends who have continued to support us on this journey. There’s still so much to learn and create.

@printreb Very appropriate for the windy day we’ve had in Northumberland today. Love the movement on those trees!

[Dawn & Jan Watson @GlassBarnStudio]

It is nice to share what we have been doing from time to time so my mission for June is to share more!

'Golden Dahlias' - Stained Glass Panel (Detail)
Some detail of another painted panel. Painted and fired using traditional techniques. A little bit of sunshine on a day that has been a little grey in our part of the world.
