In 2021, I was nominated by my peers to join council at The British Society of Master Glass Painters! As a glass painter and a type of conservator/ conservationist, I’ve shared an affinity for the BSMGP for a long time, and I am so happy to be getting more involved with this unique stained glass non-for-profit!! Over the past year I’ve learnt so much about the charity itself, It’s been a privilege and incredibly interesting to be a part of the its planning and support structures, I can’t wait to see future plans unfold!

‘Founded in 1921, The British Society of Master Glass Painters is the UK’s only organisation devoted exclusively to the art and craft of stained glass. The BSMGP promotes the important heritage of our nation’s extensive stained glass venues and collections, accredit professional craftspeople and help educate the wider public through their online resources, conferences, tours, library and annual publications!’

With the recent celebration of the Trust’s Centenary Birthday and touring exhibition it is an exciting time to get involved! Council and Committee members are comprised of some of the UK’s top stained glass professionals! Who understand the necessity of giving back, voluntarily contributing time and expertise to create more professional opportunities, educational tools, all while expanding their list of events! Make sure to check them out and consider becoming a member!
