Jackie Hunt - Stained glass and illustration

Welcome

A broad education in design, visual studies and art history has led to my career in glass design and book illustration.

Much of my work draws on experience of rural landscapes, conservation and local history. I also enjoy holding community workshops and tutoring. My work may be commissioned as single pieces of work or as part of broader projects.

Enquiries are always welcome to discuss ideas or requirements.

News

I have been selected to take part in the British Craft Trade Fair 2011, w hich takes place at the Great Yorkshire Show Ground in Harrogate during April. I will have a stand there to show the range of work I make for sale. For details look at the dedicated website at www.btcf.co.uk

Over 2009 I have had a residency at Malham Tarn Field Centre as a part of a County wide project called 'Inspired by Heritage' funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Harrogate Borough Council and Chrysalis Arts Development.

I have been working with Centre staff, visitors and local people to design and build stained glass panels focusing on the heritage of the Centre. The Field Centre and its beautiful setting is proving to be a great source of inspiration for my work.

The window is now complete and installed.

The finished window by night.....

I have completed several larger projects over the last year or so: an internal foyer window for a primary school in York has been installed, having involved two student classes in workshops for the design; and a large glass cross has been installed as a focus for the renovated church at Bransholme, Hull, using a lightbox for a very brilliant effect!

I also have a series of glass panels hanging in the Herriot Gallery in Hawes, North Yorkshire. The gallery has a range of local crafts and artworks and offers delicious teas, coffee and cakes.
