New Artists and reviews
I enjoy merging my fusing, etching and glass painting skills in creating unique works. Equally I feel at home with the traditional skills required in repairing and conserving stained glass windows. Each type of project, whether working to a commissioned design or requiring original input is an exciting challenge.
I recently took part in an Open Studios event, which had to be virtual so I have developed a youtube channel – Cracking Glass. Of the several films, this one shows a variety of pieces installed in my house

I am creating pictures of seascapes from glass and have recently finished a series of pictures of the South Hams.
I use a variety of kiln forming techniques – combining surface texture, pattern and colour within my designs to generate striking glass panels and art pieces which transform with the light throughout the day.
I enjoy working to commission, creating beautiful bespoke pieces for clients.
I am proud to announce that I have recently been awarded the Stone International Art Prize 2019, and was a finalist in the 2018 London Contemporary Art Prize for my unique Sculpted Glass Panels.
I repair, restore and design leaded light and stained glass windows
I also make small leaded panels for display and copper foiled art pieces and sun catchers
In his uncompromisingly brutal pâte de verre and cast glass work Max Stewart explores his own identity, and in doing so is unafraid to confront issues of gender and sexual experience. Throughout his work Stewart describes the human condition and places the viewer at the heart of the piece.
