Caryl Hallett felt “born again” on attending a weekend course in stained glass making. More than a decade after her first exposure to this traditional craft, she runs a successful business from a Harrogate studio, creating bespoke stained glass installations for clients across the UK.
“I’d tried a few different things,” Caryl recalls of a time in her life when she sought a role more fulfilling than an advisory job in education. “But working with stained glass was wonderful. It was practical, aesthetically pleasing and I loved manipulating the materials. I cannot imagine doing anything else now. I love it.
