Glass Painting Workshop














I ran a glass painting workshop at the Wigtown Book Festival 2024 in the County Buildings, Nature Room where I encouraged each participant to paint their glass beakers in the style of the Islamic medieval period, drawing from templates and printouts for inspiration. Traditional beakers were used with fast-dry enamel paints, other materials and various tools. The expressive representations blend ancient processes with modern advances. Some of the designs will be exhibited in a community display at Harbour Cottage Gallery and Caerlaverock Castle as part of a show reflecting on identity and connection across time and place.
