Janet Rogers is the owner and resident artist working mainly in stained, leaded and kiln fused glass to commission.  Her designs combine traditional craftsmen’s techniques with bold modern designs to produce vibrant works with a contemporary feel.

Born in Gateshead, Janet now lives and has a workshop in Durham where she produces her own fused glass, Stained glass and etched glass pieces that are often incorporated into leaded stained glass panels.  She works full time designing and producing commissions for domestic and commercial projects around the UK.

‘My work consists of many visual forms with references from landscape, geometry and colour.  The majority of designs involve bright, vivid, bold colour and texture to make my pieces stand out against the minimalist colour palette of today’.

All glass is individually hand cut making the finished product a totally authentic piece of art, which is signed and dated.

Janet uses Kokomo  and Spectrum glass Blowpipe pure solder without flux Arnold and Heaps Lead, 1/4" round came (which is stronger, less likely to distort) and 1/2" flat for the surround. Larger panels are also strengthened with internal copper strong line, this is placed within the lead came and not seen.

Finished panels can be sealed in a double glazed unit for use in exterior doors and windows
