Heather James - Stained Glass Artist writes.. I was born and raised on Vancouver Island Ive been involved in the arts since childhood and studied everything from painting, pottery, wood carving to photography and finally stained glass. One summer about 18 years ago, I signed up for a stained glass course in Comox and have never looked back. The colour, light and textures of glass play so beautifully together making each piece so unique. Im never bored with the process of putting a piece together from the original idea, to polishing the finished product. I like to incorporate different objects including feathers, leaves, sea shells, coins, glass beads and most recently acid etching - a technique which keeps the work light yet still allows me to introduce delicate, subtle designs. My panels range from small hangings, to larger wooden framed pieces and over the years Ive done a number of commissioned windows and side lights. Lamps and boxes are favourites as well and I try to keep them functional as well as interesting. Heathers stained glass panels bring colour and light to almost any room and you can see more of Heathers beautiful work at sidestreetstudio/catalog/heather-james-m-80419.html
