No stranger to creative crafts, Geddes had already tried her hand at wool weaving and home renovation. “I’m a curious person. I’m not afraid of failing,” she says. “I would usually drop these hobbies after a few years, but on this 10-day stained-glass course it felt different. I was thrilled by the act of making a small panel and I immediately wanted to build a workshop of my own afterwards so I wouldn’t have to keep travelling to a studio.”
