About Us

Christopher Stuart is a fifth-generation member of the Stuart Crystal family.  He worked at Stuart & Sons from 1959 to 1983 becoming Director of Training but also had an interest in design and the history of glassmaking.  His experience in the glass industry and the history of Stuart & Sons are recounted in his book "Doin' the Glass".

 

A chapter in the book is devoted to his special interest in Art Nouveau glass.  This has been further explored through drawings based on the designs in the Stuart Crystal pattern books from the early 1900s. These are available as A4 and A5 prints.

​

Christopher is a talented artist and in his early twenties was offered a place at the Royal College of Art, however, his father felt studying glassmaking at the Stourbridge School of Art would be a better fit with his future career in the family business.  After retiring, he dedicated more time to his love of painting in various media mainly watercolour and acrylic.  

​

His daughter, Katie, set up this website to promote and sell his work.
