Tamsin Abbott
Tamsin Abbott has been creating painted stained glass panels from her Herefordshire home in the United Kingdom for almost 25 years. Her work is inspired by the natural world, landscape, folklore, fellowship and the cycle of life.
She is as inspired by the gentle joy of the everyday as much as the power of spirit and myth. Her aim is to try to combine these elements as a celebration of life, death and our interconnectivity with all things.
Tamsin tries to imbue even the smallest of pieces of her work with a sense of enchantment, to do justice both to the subject matter and also to the glass itself; a material with alchemical qualities and a mystery of its own.
She is a member of the British Society of Master Glass Painters, and has exhibited with them as well the Museum of British Folklore, the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, the International Festival of Glass and at many other UK galleries. She has also featured several times on the BBC television and radio.
Her work is collected globally. In 2025 the book Wild Folk, was published, in which Tamsin illuminates Jackie Morris’s tales using the medium of stained glass.
