Maker's bio

April is passionate about all techniques in glass. She became captivated by its luminosity, jewel like radiance and ability to cast shadows of colour. Her own creative practise involves traditional stained glass techniques and warm glass techniques such as fusing. Her work is inspired by nature, folkloric stories and aims to bring about beauty through light. April has recently begun teaching at her workshop at Rock Farm in Shepton Mallet. She is also a Stained Glass Conservator at Holywell Glass in Wells and up until May this year has been running therapeutic art sessions for the Charity One25. Her approach to learning is to encourage and problem solve. Being dyslexic herself she understands that repetition and clear instructions are important to help learners get the most from her workshops. Her main aim is for her students to have fun, gain some confidence in a craft and leave with something uniquely beautiful.

Julia reviewed: Stained Glass Mosaic Workshop with April Pebble

"This was an excellent course. April was clear in all her instructions and sensitive to the needs of the different participants, helping when needed and leaving alone when not. I would absolutely recommend this course. April was welcoming, warm and knowledgeable. And I believe all the participants were proud of what they produced. :)"

Patricia & Julie reviewed: Stained Glass Mosaic Workshop with April Pebble

"We had a very enjoyable day with April in her workshop making a glass mosaic in a frame. April explained instructions succinctly and allowed us free rain with the materials available. She allowed us to get on with it, but was always available to help out when needed. Some of us needed a bit more time to finish and this was accommodated. Many thanks We left with a colourful creation and grout to be used the following day after the glue was fully set. "
