Save a Stained Glass Studio From Closure

Hi, My name is Daniel and I need your help to save a Swansea based Glass studio from closure.

I have been working in stained glass for a Number of years since obtaining my degree (BA Architectural Glass 2005) and in recent years my local area has lost one traditional glass studio and is about to lose another.

As another local artist is retiring the established studios are dwindling and giving fewer opportunities to up and coming artists and hobbyists alike. I would like to be the stained glass artist who tries to initiate a reversal of this trend but i need your help.

I need your help to secure the future of my local studio by taking over the lease and to upgrade the studios facilities and futureproof the site. This will allow me to open the doors to other artists who require space and/or equipment to showcase their talents and could become a place where future artists could attend classes and clubs hosted by myself.

For me personally this could be a "once in my lifetime" opportunity to raise both my own artistic profile, the profile of traditional stained glass manufacturing techniques and cement my name into the South Wales stained glass art scene. But without additional funding possibly this will become my "lost opportunity".

Here I am in my little garage studio where i am unable to fulfill my artistic potential due to lack of space and more sophisticated equipment.

Please help me secure this studio for future artists of Swansea and South Wales.

Thank you for showing an interest.
