Artist's profile

Brian is an accomplished stained glass artist who has a deep and abiding love of stained glass, not just historical but also modern and contemporary. His love of mythology, literature, poetry and the fantastic can be seen in his own original work which he has been designing and making for over 20 years. He has also been the lead artist involved in numerous community projects involving adults, children and young people.

Brian offers bespoke training courses in stained glass painting and kiln formed glass.

After studying Drawing and Painting at Glasgow School of Art and going on to working as a professional book cover artist for 5 years, Brian decided to try his hand at making a stained glass panel. Whilst attending a stained glass course at Glasgow School of Art and realising how much he loved the medium of glass, he decided that would be his journey…to study, design and make stained glass panels. Utilising techniques that have been around for centuries, Brian strives to create beautiful, evocative and atmospheric stained glass art.

Using techniques such as acid etched glass, high fired paint, enamel and silver stain, Brian endeavours to create very high standard stained glass for exhibition and for his commissioned work.

He also is involved in reproductive and restoration work varying from private residential to ecclesiastical projects.

Recently, he has completed the ‘Glass Walls’ project which has been exhibited in the Scottish Parliament building, the Law Courts in Edinburgh and the City Chambers in Glasgow, along with various restoration projects and a large commission for an Arts and Crafts set of stained glass windows for a listed building in Helensburgh.

Currently, he is working on a stained glass commission of an allegorical harvest scene for a house in London.
