I’m Anna Davies, stained glass artist and teacher originally from Kent. I’ve lived the greater part of my life on the South Coast.
Since I was small I have been captivated by glass. My Grandmother collected it and her house was full of wonderful glass things. Her sash windows were lined with colourful glass bottles and when the sun shone through them colour would pour onto the dining room table, mesmerising me.
I would walk through Brighton’s open market and gaze longingly at a stained glass shop in envy. This would bring me to commission work from the shop. I eventually picked up the courage to go inside and that was the first time I met master craftsman Keith Nickels.
Keith has since become a dear friend and mentor to me. I would never have come this far without his patience and kindness, and willingness to share his knowledge with me. Since completing my training, I have worked on projects for a diverse clientele from Goldie, through Russian oligarchs, to the church!
Working with glass and being a stained glass artist is the most satisfying job in the world for me.
