The fusion of light, lead and beautiful glass
Caryl Hallett Stained Glass
Welcome to my website.
I grew up on the North Wales coast, where I developed a passion for art and design- inspired by the local land and seascapes. My upbringing ignited a lifelong interest in working with various tactile mediums including textiles, paint and glass. After completing my degree, I initially trained as a teacher, which led to various leadership positions and allowed me to promote the integration of creativity into the curriculum in a number of primary schools.
A move to Yorkshire at the beginning of the century promoted a career change and I decided to pursue my interest in stained glass. I completed various specialist glass making courses and also worked alongside an established practitioner for a few years before starting my own business in 2005. In the years that followed, I worked throughout the U.K. designing and producing hundreds of commissions for residential, commercial and public spaces.
In 2025 I moved to live in Somerset and decided to focus on the teaching element of my work where I could share the skills of this wonderful craft with others. As qualified teacher I offer variety of workshops from the studio in my garden in Crewkerne. The classes are kept to small numbers to allow for individual support and successful outcomes. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone with experience, there is always a warm welcome at my studio to enjoy some creative time and make something lovely to take home. Please go to the Workshop section of my website to find our more and book places.

My work involves combining various glass processes to produce unique works for installation. Most of my work involves traditional stained glass methods using antique and machine-rolled coloured glass that is held together with lead.
I strive to create the most appropriate interpretation of my brief, exploiting the exquisite brilliance of the medium and its relationship with light.
