Catrin Jones is an award-winning Welsh artist, specialising in contemporary, decorated, two-dimensional glass.
She works predominantly with decorated glass in architecture (contemporary stained glass), but has also worked professionally in a variety of other media. After training, she co-established a co-operative stained glass studio in Swansea, where she worked for five years. Since embarking on a solo career in 1988, she has worked consistently as a professional artist in Wales and beyond, and has generated a large portfolio of commissions in both the private and public sectors, in sacred and secular environments.
The art of stained glass is the art of manipulation of light in space, and she has practiced this artform for over 30 years’ as a professional artist, working from her studio in Swansea. Catrin uses glass to generate transmitted colour, texture, levels of opacity and to exploit creatively the shadows thereby cast.
Where possible, she prefers her work to tell a story. Whilst her work is aesthetically beautiful, it also possesses meaning, which may not be immediately obvious, but might be discovered over time (or with instruction). Narratives are important, since they firmly establish a work in space and time, and can generate comment and discussion. Catrin tries to achieve this on many levels, by weaving meaning throughout the designs both on a broad thematic scale and in the smaller more personal details. Most of her work is carefully researched, is site-specific and appropriate to its location.

Each of our artists has their own distinct style, bringing their own expertise and creativity to each piece they make. Catrin believes that her role in any commission is to create a dialogue with the commissioner, expanding their understanding of contemporary approaches to glass and new technologies in order to realise their vision, while staying faithful to traditional techniques and practices.
Working primarily on large, public projects, Catrin also undertakes private and commercial commissions and is open to discussing your ideas - taking you through all elements of the creative journey - from design, material choice, technique and finish.
