Maker's bio

I'm Eleanor, I'm a jeweller and glass maker and I love colour, texture, design and pattern. I work across all of these in a variety of media including fused glass, enamel, silver, copper, anodised aluminium creating my one-off jewellery and glass pieces. I retrained as a jeweller in 2012, and I work with my husband at Rainbow Glass Studios where I thoroughly enjoy teaching weekend courses in glass and enamelling. I believe everyone has creativity and I want to encourage you to explore yours!

Marèse reviewed: Enamelling on copper bowls day course at Rainbow Glass Studios

"A great day enamelling on copper bowls, so fascinating to see layers of enamel come to life when fired. Eleanor is an excellent tutor who explained all processes very clearly & was always on hand to help when required. I was amazed at the lovely bowls I was able to create & take home with me. a very enjoyable day - thank you Eleanor."

Eleanor Designs responded:

"Hello Marese It was lovely to meet you, Thank you for your curiosity and enthusiasm to learn to enamel with me! You made a beautiful job of your bowls in complimentary colours and I hope you enjoy wearing your domed pendants too. Fabulous results on your first day! I hope to see you again soon!

Alex reviewed: Christmas decorations in fused glass course at Rainbow Glass Studios

"I had a brilliant day making fused glass Christmas decorations. Eleanor showed how to make a great variety of pieces and encouraged us to try our own things. "

Eleanor Designs responded:

"Thank you Alex, it was lovely having you with us for the day, and I am particularly looking forward to seeing your own autumn leaf decoration fired, (it’s in the kiln as we speak!) You have a great sense of colour and what will work together, I hope you make more glass in future! Thank you for coming! Eleanor Rainbow Glass Studios "

Tim Roberts reviewed: Fused Glass for beginners at Rainbow Glass Studios

"My day with Eleanor at Rainbow Studios on Saturday was very rewarding and enjoyable. The studio is a lovely place, full of glass art in many styles back to Victorian times, and well equipped for the five of us students to make the most of our six hours there. Eleanor must have given many such beginner's days but she took us through the basics with infectious enthusiasm, then helping us in the afternoon to create one or more of our own pieces in whatever style we wanted. "

Eleanor Designs responded:

"Hello Tim, thank you for your enthusiastic review! it was great to have you with us on Saturday making fused glass. I’m looking forward to opening the kiln tomorrow, my “treasure chest moment” when we get to see the results! I am completely confident they will be excellent! I hope you will be able to combine your glass cutting and making skills with your amazing glass icon painting soon! Thank you for coming, hope to see you again. Eleanor, Rainbow Glass Studios."
