Art Pupils Work With Professional Glass Artist

On Monday, the Art department welcomed the glass artist Andrew Taylor who worked with Year 7 and Year 9 pupils during the day.

Andrew was selected by The New Room in Bristol, the oldest Methodist building in the world, to produce a stained glass window for the atrium.

The pupils were lucky enough to see the original cartoon drawing that Andrew uses to cut and paint the glass to scale.

Andrew was accompanied by Gary Best, the former Kingswood School Headmaster, who shared stories of John Wesley’s life and his importance to Kingswood.

The pupils enjoyed learning a new technique; they designed and made their own piece of cut glass to take away using an array of colours.
