A little about glass & arrow...
Aveen has been teaching Art and Design & Technology in the UK for over a decade and originally graduated from West Wales School of Arts with a BA in Ceramic Design. Her interest in arts & crafts continued after university, and she often found herself experimenting in various mediums, ranging from upholstery and woodwork to screen printing and silversmithing, always moving onto the next.
In 2020, Aveen was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to develop her knowledge and skills in stained glass from her home studio in Bristol during lockdown and was hooked.
Glass & Arrow was established the following year and her work is now being sold online and at Flourish, Bristol UK.

A perfect workshop, 100% recommend😊
We had an absolutely brilliant day at the Glass and arrow workshop. Aveen is great at explaining each step and then let us have a go on our own pieces. The honeycomb design is beautiful and the large selection of glass made each piece personal and so different between the two of us attending. The venue is beautiful - we were very lucky with the sunset views which made the glass look extra special. We're both so happy with what we made, have learnt new skills and had a wonderful day with Aveen - thank you!
Genuinely the best workshop I’ve ever been on. Incredible location. Even more incredible tuition. The process was explained clearly and help always at hand. I cannot recommend this enough. Left with the most beautiful piece of work. Looking forward to returning!
If I could give 10 stars I would. I booked in with Aveen as was keen to try something new, I’m not a crafter and have never done anything like a workshop before. Aveen is such a good teacher she explained each step of the process clearly and gave demonstrations so I was completely confident before cutting. I loved every second of the workshop and am so proud of what I created.
Stainglass art is something I've always wanted to do and when the opportunity came up, I jumped at it. I loved the examples that Aveen shared, so tasteful and beautiful. I wanted to have a go. I am so glad I did. Aveen takes you through the process with patience and as a result, I felt confident. She's a natural teacher and so complimentary about what I was doing. Her workshop was so organised and she was very kind in supplying drinks and lovely cake! The venue was an added bonus. Such a nice place to do art! I would highly recommend anyone to do this workshop. I want to do another and that is my plan!
I had a fantastic day taking part in this workshop. I’d not done any craft or art based work since school, but when I saw this I really wanted to give it a go. Aveen is a knowledgeable and friendly teacher, she made everything easy for me to understand and the whole experience was fun and rewarding. I’ll definitely be looking to do similar workshops in the future after this experience. I’d wholeheartedly recommend a workshop with Aveen to anyone. You’ll have fun and create something you can be proud of.
