The idea
Our project aims to unite the village community by creating a unique stained glass window for Prees School, learning, using and celebrating an endangered craft. Collaborating with a professional stained glass artist, children from the school, villagers, and care home residents will work together to design and produce a lasting legacy that showcases creativity, inclusivity, and teamwork. This piece will beautify the school, connect generations and help preserve a rare artisan skill.
