The interest in ecclesiastical glass that was evident from adolescence was transferred into a practising enthusiasm a couple of years after moving to Glasgow. This enthusiasm increased to the point of making a career change when the opportunity arose. Classes with Paul San Casciani, evening classes, a part time course at the (now) City of Glasgow College, various specific classes, and a master class with Klaus Moje at Northlands added to his knowledge and experience. Stephen now concentrates on domestic, public and commercial decorative glass, including restoration. He has recently been elected to the Guild of Master Craftsmen.
