Alison Tait
Alison is a stained glass artist based in West Linton, a small town nestled in the Scottish borders.
Having originally trained as a ceramicist, Alison became seduced by the bright vibrant colours offered by stained glass about eight years ago. She retrained in glass techniques and learned how to copper foil, make leaded glass windows and also how to fuse glass in her kiln.
Alison makes windows to commission as well as free hanging glass panels inspired by the wild landscapes and seascapes of the North West coast of Scotland. She also makes smaller unique window decorations and really enjoys mixing colours and textures together.
Alison teaches art and craft classes to children in local Scottish border schools.
She currently sells her work at the Cambridge Contemporary Craft and Ely Cathedral Stained Glass Museum.
This will be Alison's seventh year running that she has exhibited at the Cambridge Christmas show. please visit her website for more information.
