++ REGRETFULLY KAY HAS HAD TO CLOSE HER STUDIO AT THE CHARTER , ABINGDON - VENUE 219 FOR THE DURATION OF ARTWEEKS , DUE TO ILLNESS ++
Kay Gibbons is a Stained glass artist working from her studio in Abingdon . She works to commission and has made windows at three hospitals in Oxford : The Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, The Warneford Hospital and Littlemore Hospital. She makes windows for private residencies and public buildings .
I am happy to discuss any glass projects you maybe inspired to consider for your home, for your work place , for the green house or wherever !!!
My style is generally abstract and colourful . I like to get a feel for the place the glass will be in situ and respond with a design complementing the space . I like to involve the clients in the process as much as possible so that the creation becomes as much theirs in design as it is mine.
I teach Beginners Stained Glass at my studio in The Charter Studios , Abingdon OX14 3LZ on the last Sunday of each month . The groups are no larger than 4-5 attendees.If this is inconvenient I am more than happy to arrange a mutually convenient time .
I also enjoy painting , drawing and sculpture. I am a member the Oxford Art Society which offer exhibitions twice a year in St John’s College ,Oxford. My style in these disciplines is abstract and reflects my style as a stained glass artist . My paintings inspire my glasswork and vice versa .
I have recently become a member of the Contemporary Glass Society.
Artists whose work inspire me include , Ben Nicholson, Patrick Heron , Paul Klee , Kandinsky , Barbara Hepworth , Henry Moore
Patrick Reyntiens, John Piper , Chagall.
I love to have an open studio and share with others the joy I experience in doing what I do .
You are MOST welcome to visit ANYTIME ….
