Breagha Glass and Lynn Shilp
Breagha Glass began as a hobby, developed into a passion & naturally a small business evolved, the transition part of a bigger ambitious lifestyle change with imminent retirement the catalyst & influenced by a creative desire to change tack.
Lynn qualified as a registered nurse in the 1970's specialising in Intensive Care within the NHS & also overseas.
Always interested in arts & crafts, & whilst nursing in Canada, Lynn developed an interest in traditional pioneer patchwork & quilting.
Travels saw summers spent in the Channel & Greek Islands, in contrast to winters spent ski instructing in the Rockies & French Alps.
Whilst living in Australia, Lynn had an introduction to glass leading & copper foil methods, & on return to Edinburgh in the 1990's studied at Telford College & attended classes at Edinburgh School of Art.
Eventually settling in Highland Perthshire & finally fulfilling the dream has culminated in the launch of Breagha Glass in 2014, an exciting new venture from her glass art studio in Keltneyburn.
