About Surinder Warboys:

Warboys was a Fine Art and Stained Glass student at Wimbledon School of Art and Newport School of Art in South Wales who in 1990, established Myglassroom, a studio specializing in architectural stained glass, conservation and tuition. As well as commissioned work, Surinder always maintained a parallel personal practice, with a particular interest for experimental works. Major commissions have included many large public buildings from churches, schools and hospitals (including ‘Night and Day’ stained Glass Commission for St Nicholas’ Hospice Chapel, Bury St Edmunds) to small, intimate spaces within private dwellings.

Warboys' work has appeared in Crafts and the Journal of Master Glass Painters and several other publications in the UK and abroad. She has also lectured at Sunderland University and Chandigarh School of Art and Architecture, as well as at other universities in the UK and India as visiting artist. Her experimental works on glass have twice been selected for exhibition in the British Glass Biennale.

About Whispers of Nature: Glass Painting by Surinder Warboys 5 April - 29 November 2025

‘Whispers from Nature’ brings together glass works Warboys has made using her Muller technique. Warboys' process allows paint to find shape organically, the eventual form containing traces of its evolution, bringing focus to the peripheral marks made by movement and time through substance.

We are delighted to be hosting this exhibition at The Stained Glass Museum in 2025, and this will be included in your usual admission ticket
