Deb has been working with Stained Glass for 20 years now. Her business Elegance Stained Glass has been an industry leader in Sydney since 1989, and has recently relocated to Wagga Wagga as a tree change.
Leadlighting has been the perfect marriage of my interests in architecture, art, colour and design, and of course the medium of glass. My work has been largely architectural glasswork up until recently. My new home here has re–ignited my dreams of combining stained glass with wrought iron in sculptor when we found an old iron frame from an upright piano on our land. All I could see was how amazing it would be it filled with glass as a garden installation.
I am venturing into working with different mediums such as ceramics, found objects, rock, metal, natural wood and crystals combined with stained glass as hanging and static sculptures.
I’m presently working on incorporating ceramic features into stained glass projects, stained glass hangings focusing on abstract and old style motifs, and insects, birds, animals and nature that have an ad–hoc and brightly coloured stained glass feature incorporated into them, where the accent is on the bright colours of the glass rather than the subject.
From there I will expand these ideas into larger garden sculptures utilising found objects, rock, iron and timber.
I am situated about 20 minutes out of Wagga in the Olympic Highway and 10 minutes from Junee. Look for the Wagga Art Trail Banner on the corned of Yathella Rd and turn left off the Highway from Wagga, and right from Junee. Our property is the first lane on the right, and signposted for the Wagga Art Trail.
The studio is open from 10 am to 4pm, Saturday and Sunday, with demonstrations of leadlighting, refreshments and pieces for sale.
Please note; Yathella Rd is also known as ‘Bronte Lane’ on GPS devices.
