Maker's bio

April is passionate about all techniques in glass. She became captivated by its luminosity, jewel like radiance and ability to cast shadows of colour. Her own creative practise involves traditional stained glass techniques and warm glass techniques such as fusing. Her work is inspired by nature, folkloric stories and aims to bring about beauty through light. April has recently begun teaching at her workshop at Rock Farm in Shepton Mallet. She is also a Stained Glass Conservator at Holywell Glass in Wells and up until May this year has been running therapeutic art sessions for the Charity One25. Her approach to learning is to encourage and problem solve. Being dyslexic herself she understands that repetition and clear instructions are important to help learners get the most from her workshops. Her main aim is for her students to have fun, gain some confidence in a craft and leave with something uniquely beautiful.

Pippa M reviewed: Stained Glass Mosaic Workshop with April Pebble

"April’s workshop is a hive of creativity- at the start of the session I was uncertain if I would see my design materialise in the six hour session but I had no need to worry. April is a hugely experienced and gifted artist in this medium and a gifted teacher, whose relaxed and inclusive approach puts her students at ease from the moment they enter this creative oasis at Rock Farm. The little cafe next door sells beautiful coffee, cake and toasties...go and book yourself on one of April’s courses, you will love every minute of it!"

Liz reviewed: Stained Glass Mosaic Workshop with April Pebble

"A delightful day with April at Rock Farm making my glass mosaic. April was a great teacher and the setting for the workshop was quaint with a great community feel. I think I may have the confidence to try the stained glass workshop next as I was thrilled with my results. Highly recommend. "

April Pebble responded:

"Hi Liz, thanks so much for your review- your mosaic looked beautiful and so happy you had a great time! Hopefully see you and Pippa again :) "
