Kate Henderson

Kate trained in stained glass at Edinburgh College of Art in the early nineties and has since built up a varied portfolio of commissioned works for public and private buildings across Scotland and Europe. She has won awards for her paintings from the RGI and the RSW and is an elected Associate member of the British Master Glass Painters, Professional member of the Society of Scottish Artists and a Trustee of the Royal Glasgow Institute.

Kate’s art incorporates traditional and contemporary techniques in glass; from painted, layered, acid etched to waterjet cutting. Interested in creating pieces that explore the fragility of glass, she works into the surface as well as the edges to expose the vulnerability of the material. ”

“Over the years I have developed a painterly approach to both my painting and glass work. I feel that the relationship between my glass and painting continues to strengthen and develop, influencing the mark making in each discipline.”
