Cracked with Chevonne Ariss
Tokens, Talismans and Traditions of The Countryside with Jane Littlefield
Hello and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! My guest today is Jane Littlefield. Jane works with stained glass from her workshop in Great Longstone, Derbyshire. She studied Fine Art at Ravensbourne College and has worked in different areas of design over the years. Jane works to commission and has produced work for homes, schools and businesses. She also runs glass workshops. Her own work consists of stained glass panels that have multi – layered, painted glass images that are inspired by the Peak District, its nature, history and folklore. "I use images of creatures, landscape features and organic motifs to create these glass panels." The glass is hand painted using traditional stained glass paints and translucent enamels, often using many layers and textures, that are fired in the kiln. They are assembled using lead and solder.
Let’s get into it…
Join me as I crack it wide open!!
