Helen Whittaker
Design Circuit - Seven Points of Design
Helen has completed over 100 commissions for both secular and ecclesiastical buildings, from homes to cathedrals. Helens’ workshop will cover her design process for commissioned work, from a simple pencil sketch to full-colour design. She will guide you through the seven points that stimulate her unique approach to designing for stained glass, responding to the client, the brief, and the building.
