About Annie
Aitken. |
| Annie
Aitken has been designing and crafting stained glass windows for
seven years. During which time she has taken on several commissions. She graduated in 1979 gaining a BA in Art and Drama (specialising in Screenprinting) at Bretton Hall College, affiliated to Leeds University. After discovering her delight in the illuminating qualities of light through glass, she trained with glass artist Kathy Shaw at The City Lit, in Fleet Street and for 3 years at Stockwell Arts School. Annie then furthered her studies with Tim Cunliffe at Hammersmith and Fulham College. Annie has won Best Stained Glass for her 'Eagle in 2008 and 'Icarus-Burnt by the Sun' in 2010 at the H & F Summer Exhibitions. More recently, her stained glass panel 'Vivienne's Shoe' has been accepted at the 'Inspired by' Exhibition at the 'V&A', to be displayed between October 2nd and November 21st 2010 in Rooms 17 and 18a on the Ground Floor. Annie draws her inspiration from a wide range of artists from Matisse and Chagall to the more contemporary work of Tom Denny and Ed Carpenter. |
