Students' Work
Follow this link to some of the students' work on Flickr
Recently June did some restoration work on windows
from Cirencester Church. As a way of utilising the 
broken panes that were removed she cut the glass up
and created heart shaped pieces to sell to the people 
who have an affinity to the church.

Retail

June's work can be seen in the following retail outlets:
Dandelion in Chudleigh,
Blue Indigo Gallery in Teignmouth.
