Meet Your Workshop Hosts
Paul and Sheree, partners in life and in craft, are the owners of Luminous By Nature. We both found a passion for the art of stained glass some years ago, starting out with minimal tools and small market stalls and growing into a full, busy studio run from our garage. We are self-taught, and our workshops focus on the copper foiling technique — the Tiffany method — prized for the fine, sculptural detail it allows.
Why We Teach
There's a moment in every workshop when someone who has never touched a piece of glass before holds up what they've made and realises — I actually made this. That moment is why we do this.
We've invested in our workshops so that we can be mobile, bringing the experience anywhere people want one and have the space for it — across Queensland and interstate into New South Wales, at markets, festivals and art exhibitions along the way. We're passionate about the luminosity of the glass we work with, both vintage and new, and it's where our business name comes from — that, and what we believe is the true, luminous state of being.
