About Nik Sanders

With a background as a primary school teacher, I was introduced to stained glass through a gift from a colleague. This started off a real curiosity for experimenting with glass. I enjoy the freedom of working with colour, line and form in the designing process and then moving onto the order and accuracy required for the lead and glass construction. In 2019 I bought a kiln and have enjoyed experimenting with glass paint to add more detail and texture to my designs. I have now started to learn how to fuse glass. Most of my inspiration comes from Scandinavian design and my enjoyment of gardening and nature. I love flowers and most of my stained glass pieces represent some sort of flower or seed head. We moved to Devon two years ago and are loving our life by the sea. It has been inspiring but I’ve also noticed I don’t get as much done because I want to be outside or in the sea most of the time!
