Julia Gonyou

I am a British/ Canadian Stained Glass Artist, specialising in a variety of surface treatments and techniques. Such as the painting, etching, kiln forming, casting, staining and antique silvering of glass. For the past eleven years, I’ve worked and trained in stained glass in more than six countries. I was fortunate enough to receive grants and awards from the Worshipful company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, American Glass Guild and Reflections of the Lord Mayor; where I continue to contribute as a SEND Arts Award Adviser. I volunteer for the British Society of Master Glass Painters, am a member of its Council and Artists Working Group lead. I enjoy making a wide range of work, whether that be more affordable or wearable glass series available online and occasionally at in-person markets around South London, autonomous fine art panels and bespoke commission. Additionally, I like advancing my skill set, freelancing for other stained glass studios, exhibiting, organising in-person and online stained glass lectures, facilitating artistic youth outreach, all while collaborating with individuals, environmental non-for-profits and organisations across the globe!

Experimentation and innovation are essential to my creative glass practice and regularly influence my style of expression. My conceptual approach to stained glass is based on philosophical views of awareness, our soulful and intellectual responsibilities to nature and one another. Each painting generally focuses on one subject, emotion or state of consciousness, and together, act as an elaborate reflection of our multifaceted whole!
