Leadlines is a beautiful stained glass studio located beside Donegore Landscape Centre. This company was established in 1983 and recently moved to these stunning new premises. It's not only a gallery, call in here and you can see the artists at their work and check out their personal portfolio. This was a fascinating feature. The studio here belongs to David and Eileen Esler (David is the resident artist while Eileen is the concept designer) They are a couple who aspire to break the norms and conventions of traditional glass staining and revive it as an exceptional art work. They want people to see it as an art form, moving away from the traditional pictorial format and use new designs instead. There are workshops held here regularly where you can try the fascinating art form out for yourself (contact the gallery for more information regarding this) other services the couple offer include; blowing glass, fusing glass, sandblasting, refurbishment and manifesting as well as traditional stained glass services.
As well as the gorgeous glass on display you can feast your eyes on a selection of paintings, jewellery, ceramics, sculpture and prints. This gallery is a really fascinating place to see and discover the skill of this forgotten art form. read more
