A few years ago while visiting family and friends in my hometown Boise, Idaho, I was catching up with an old friend. We were discussing how I had rediscovered my love of painting while teaching a friend how to paint at our kitchen tables while sharing a bottle of wine. At the suggestion of my friend, I tried out a course combining painting and drinking wine in Boise. It was such fun, that I immediately started planning to bring it back to my home in Bath. Paint by Wine at Studio LX has been running since early 2018.

Fleur
Fleur is a stained-glass artist, running her own studio, where she makes bespoke commission pieces.
Studying Fine Art & Interactive Arts at university, Fleur later went on to learn and develop the techniques and skills required to produce stained glass artwork.
Having always been being fascinated with the use of light and the play of dancing colour and illumination in and around spaces, Fleur now translates these passions into glass. She enjoys the discipline, precision and technical processes that working in glass bring.
In contrast, it’s a wonderful freedom to have the opportunity to instruct and run Paint by Wine workshops where the emphasis is on relaxing and letting go in a fun, safe and creative atmosphere.
