DIAMOND STAR GLASS

We’re Matt and Gina, we live locally and make these colourful stained glass sun catchers to add a little colour to your lives.

Matt took up stained glass copper foiling in September 2023 after deciding he needed a hobby. He did a one day taster class and was instantly hooked!!

Initially it was a hobby just for his own satisfaction but you can only make so many pieces for yourself 😜.

We decided to see if others liked our work and went to our local village Christmas Fayre and were delighted to find out they did and so Diamond Stars Glass was born.

Matt loves to make new pieces and will give anything a go. He has made several one off commission pieces and embraces new challenges.

I get involved more by being Matt’s helper and sorting not so exciting bits. I do make with his left over pieces of glass reusable candle holders, trying to minimise our waste.

We’re so pleased that our little hobby is welcomed and enjoyed by people and look forward to making many more colorful pieces for you to enjoy.

LIZZIE ANN CRAFT

I’m Sarah and have a strong passion for typography and creating new designs for my handmade gifts, home décor and wedding stationery. Many unique bespoke pieces made to order.
