Sheila Barr was born in Glasgow and studied Architectural Glass at Edinburgh College of Art. Having moved to the Isle of Arran Sheila’s work explores and develops images from the surrounding landscape to express the mood and atmosphere of the island.
Sheila works with handblown English Antique Glass, and uses the range of vibrant colours to convey the constant changes in quality of light and colour that can be observed on Arran from day to day and through the seasons.
Sheila designs and makes contemporary, kiln formed glass panels. Each original piece combines bold and exciting colours with captivating layers, bubbles and engraved details. The range covers free-standing pieces, ideal for any window sill, lightboxes, perfect for internal spaces, and larger leaded panel made using traditional stained glass techniques.
