Window Dressing<br />

Misty Glass Dorset sheds a whole new light<br />

At <strong>DOMVS</strong>, we’re lucky enough to sell some of the<br />

most beautiful homes in Dorset, many of them historic<br />

or listed buildings. When in need of a little TLC, the<br />

restoration or replication of period features within older<br />

homes often requires the specialist skills of traditional<br />

craftsmen - enter, Misty Glass Dorset.<br />

Misty makes stunning stained-glass panels for windows<br />

and doors and has installed them in properties<br />

throughout Dorset. Having started her business on the<br />

dining room table of her home in Weymouth, Misty now<br />

works in her own studio, where the views across the sea<br />

towards Portland fill her with inspiration every day.<br />

After 20 years spent renovating properties with her<br />

husband in Oxfordshire, Cornwall and France - where<br />

they spent eight years converting a traditional barn into<br />

a fabulous home - Misty and her family returned to<br />

England to work on a Victorian property in Weymouth.<br />

<strong>The</strong> gift of a stained-glass course for her birthday<br />

changed everything.<br />

Misty now has a wonderful workshop filled with every<br />

colour and texture of glass you could think of. Her<br />

hand-made, bespoke works hang in the window letting<br />

in beams of kaleidoscopic colour. “I love glass, I can get<br />

totally lost in every detail. <strong>The</strong>n, after soldering all the<br />

lead together, I get to enjoy the magic of being the first<br />

person to hold it up to see how the light brings it to life.”<br />

Misty takes commissions for replacing stained glass as<br />

part of renovations, and creates bespoke door plaques.<br />
