Glass from the Past houses a number of glass artists who have either been trained by Caroline Weidman or have come to be a part of the studios through the work they have produced in their own right.
Caroline brings her experience of being a sculptor for nearly 30 years. In the past four years she has created a thriving community of glass artists who are creating some fantastic items, many of which are for sale in the Art Glass Gallery at Barleylands.
Caroline studied Fine Art at Birmingham Polytechnic, graduating in 1983. She has worked in a range of mediums including paper and stone before discovering a passion for all things glass in 2004. Sculpture has been a passion throughout and she uses the principles of sculpture in her work with glass, which brings in the dimension of colour.
In 1995 Caroline began stone carving. She creates traditional figurative carvings in limestone and has been a member of the Shoebury stonecarvers group. Click here to see Carolines stone carving.
The studio undertakes a broad range of work, including restoration and design of traditional stained glass to more contemporary kiln fired and lampwork designs.
