Stained Glass 'Heirloom' Wreaths
Stained Glass Wreaths are a beautiful and very special way to decorate your home or event venue for a special occasion. They also make lovely gifts for special birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, lasting for many years and becoming a family heirloom. My stained glass wreaths are made using the copper foiling method; each one combines a unique selection of coloured glass and beads to create a striking, individual piece of art. Having started by making Christmas wreaths, I have now developed my designs to suit celebrations throughout the year so please do get in touch if you'd like to discuss a custom design.
The wreath is made in several stages, starting by cutting coloured glass shapes, based on my own original designs. The edges of the glass are ground smooth and then wrapped with sticky backed copper foil. This foil enables the pieces to be soldered together. before glass 'jewels' and beaded decorations are added. Finally the stained glass wreath is polished and hanging cords are added. The variations in the colour and texture of the glass mean that each wreath is unique. Most of my stained glass wreaths are 35cm - 40cm in diameter.
Stained Glass Christmas Wreaths
I created my first Christmas stained glass wreath for Channel 4's 'Kirstie's Handmade Christmas', in a programme which was broadcast in December 2020. The wreath was made in 4 hours as part of a televised competition, requiring a lot of concentration and focus to get everything done while being interviewed and filmed. It was quite a challenge! A local woodworker made a beautiful stand for me so that I could display the finished glass wreath. Since then I have made Christmas wreaths for clients from across the UK and they are now a popular part of my range..
Stained Glass Wreaths for Celebrations and Seasons
Beautiful stained glass wreaths are not just for Christmas! They make stunning decorations and mementos for special occasions, often being given as gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, house warmings and other significant events. As an example, my Spring Heirloom Wreath takes inspiration from garden flowers that appear early in the year, combining them with bright green leaves and beading to produce a striking decoration. I'm very happy to develop custom designs based on your own favourite colours, flowers and decorative ideas.
