Cathi Prince: Stained Glass artist based in South Lincolnshire "I love working with the colours and textures found in the various types of stained glass that I use. Sometimes I will work with simple geometric and random patterns, playing with shades and contrasts. At other times I get ideas from around me, the flowers in my garden and the fish in the pond outside my studio door.

Yesterday I went to see my friend Cathi at her Open Studio and Garden event in Haconby Village in Lincolnshire. She has a beautiful garden! (I WANT A GARDEN LIKE THAT! Imagine how much fun Taj and Millie would have if they had all that space!) And she has a lovely workshop. Yes it is in a shed but what a marvellous shed it is! Cathi's studio is a really pleasant place to be, surrounded by gorgeous stained glass panels, mirrors and decorative hangings. And all the right tools to make these beautiful stained glass designs. Cathi is very good at what she does! We are very proud of of our Lapidary workshop in the garage, but the Shedglas Design studio is something else! One day I would love to have a jewellery and Lapidary workshop like this with lots of natural light, fresh air and space to have open studio days. That's when we could perhaps start teaching as well... Cathi  was demonstrating her craft and carrying out little modifications to existing pieces for customers...
