About the Workshop

Collaging your colourful tissue pieces with a gloss medium you will achieve a vibrant and translucent final portrait in the stained glass style.

Meet the Tutor

Jane has always loved drawing and early on she knew she wanted to continue pursuing her art alongside her love of literature which led Jane to study a degree in Arts and Humanities at De Montfort University in the early 90’s. Whilst taking time to raise a family Jane started work in The Stained Glass Museum in Ely Cathedral 10 years ago and more recently embarked on a programme of study and daily painting practice. Over the last 6 years she has developed her painting and drawing style bringing new techniques from time spent print making and learning about art history. Jane has continued to push her learning and loves to share her knowledge by running workshops and giving short guided tours at The Stained Glass Museum. As well as painting expressive, textural landscapes Jane regularly take commissions for pet portraits in soft pastels and continues to enjoy painting illustrative watercolours inspired by stained glass.
