Joanna Hedley Blaylock is an international architectural glass artist with an extensive body of work alongside numerous private collaborative and public commissions. Her varied subject matter and approaches can be seen in many houses, schools and community and municipal buildings, mansions, chapels and parish churches, in many different locations.
She began her training in all the traditional skills of stained glass making in Boston USA and completed her BA Hons degree on her return to England, she further extended her knowledge of glass and was awarded her MA having won a place in the highly regarded course of Sunderland University, in an area that is reputed to be the birth place of European stained glass.
She elegantly fuses ancient techniques with her individual and powerfully charged contemporary abstract style and enjoys translating a drawn image into glass, using paint stains and sandblasting to create areas where light will play and dance with texture.
She currently lives in South west France
