 Glass from the Past houses a number of artists who have either been trained by Caroline Weidman or have come to be a part of the studio through the work they have produced in their own right. The new gallery opened in July of 2009 and all the students and artists contributed a square for the Gallery sign. Chloes' Maelstrom piece is also pictured plus the start of an architectural job destined for a house in Chelmsford. Caroline and Pete established the studio together. Pete brings the thinking and problem solving skills he has developed as a senior manager in a public sector organisation and Caroline brings her experience of being an artist for over 20 years. Together they have created a thriving community of artists who are creating some fantastic items. Caroline studied Fine Art at Birmingham Polytechnic, graduating in 1983. She has worked in a range of mediums including paper, stone and glass. Sculpture has been a passion throughout and she exhibited complex structures in paper during the 1980's.

The studio undertakes a broad range of work, including restoration and design of traditional stained glass to more contemporary kiln fired designs.
