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 />
