He has produced work for a diverse range of situations, both ecclesiastical and secular. From the digital recording and conservation of 13th-century stained glass in the UK to the fabrication of new stained glass in Russia and Barbados.

Dan has a great passion for glass in all its forms. He dedicates much of his spare time to studying the subject and strives to keep the standards of his craftsmanship as high as possible.
