Helen Marshall

I design and make stained glass flower stems and landscapes inspired by the views, colours and natural beauty of the Peak District.

I use the Tiffany technique to create my pieces and work with a wide variety of textured and streaky stained glass in different colours and shades to create pieces that cast refractions as beautiful as the glass itself. I also use delicate wire work and tiny glass beads to add an extra dimension of detail to my work. I love attempting to recreate the delicate nature of flowers and the changing colours of landscapes in a form that will last forever.

I’m a relative newcomer to this craft, but have quickly developed an enormous passion for the creative possibilities available with this medium. Last year my work was selected to appear in the “Crafted This Christmas” exhibition at Sheffield’s Millenium Gallery.

Visit me in my garden studio where you can see my work and the refractions it creates and I can explain and demonstrate the many processes involved.
