Stained Glass Arts | Artwork For Hotels | Art For Your Home
Throughout 2021 the team at Artienda will be introducing a range of new products and services for both our commercial and residential clients. We are really excited therefore to tell you about stained glass windows and our new partnership with Zoe Angle from Angle Glass. Stained glass windows and panels can make such a big impact to an interior design scheme. They are unique and unlike many home or office improvements can be removed and travel with you when properties are changed. We are really delighted to offer Angle Glass’s amazing services to our clients and look forward to working collaboratively with Zoe this year. Read on for more about her business and some beautiful examples of her stained glass art.
Stained glass panels create excitement, beauty, and privacy too.
Angle Glass | How It All Happened
With a solid background in fine art and more than 20 years’ experience working with stained glass, Zoe Angle brings a rare degree of versatility and understanding to her craft. After graduating in fine art from Sheffield Hallam University, Zoe worked for The Stained Glass Place in Chiswick, London, before setting up Creative Glass with support from the Prince’s Trust. In 1998, she secured a glass painting apprenticeship at Goddard and Gibbs Studios, the largest stained glass studios in England. In what was very much a hands-on role, she received training in every aspect of glass painting and stained glass production from the best in the business. It was here that she learned how to apply her traditional training to commercial projects.
Establishing Angle Glass
Zoe continued to work for Goddard and Gibbs for several years after her apprenticeship, before leaving to concentrate on her own work. This led to the establishment of Angle Glass in 2009 in Acton, west London. From working on large commissions such as the restoration of glass from the Baltic Exchange dome, now displayed at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, to creating bespoke individual panels for homes and offices, Zoe has developed a skillset that enables her to tailor projects to her clients’ needs.
Collaboration
When a project warrants it, Zoe brings in others with the relevant skills to collaborate with her. She has worked closely with a select group of craftspeople, building up relationships with artisans with complementary abilities. As a result, no project is too big or complicated for her to handle.
Examples of Zoe’s work

“Clients often want something unique and personal and so we'll work closely together from the very start of the design process”

Stained Glass Windows | Interior Design Impact
For interior designers and business owners who are working on an artwork for hotels or art for restaurants project, introducing stained glass art and stained glass panels and windows can really make a big difference to the overall impact of the interior design scheme. The coloured light cast through a stained glass window has a magical effect. It can lift the atmosphere and mood of a space. What’s also brilliant is that there is no limit to the size of a stained glass art piece. It might be a small piece of work to go in a frame on a wall or could be an entire door or wall panel. If you’re working on or connected to a commercial space that would benefit from an aesthetic boost of this kind please do get in touch.
