About Sol Glass Works
Sol Glass Works wasn't born out of a grand plan. It all started when I was tired of flipping burgers in various cafes and desperately wanted a change. Destiny intervened when I stumbled upon a random job listing on Gumtree that led me to a glass shop. Surrounded by beautiful sheets of glass, including Tatra glass and roundels from my homeland, Poland, ignited the spark for stained glass.
Deciding to give it a shot, I attended my first stained glass workshop. I created a colorful panel with a sun, unknowingly setting the tone for the style that would become my trademark and inspire the logo. Around that time, I launched an online shop, sharing small pieces with family, friends, and followers. Their encouragement and recognition fueled my passion.
After dedicating a couple of years to the glass shop in Bristol, the city I called home for eight years, I felt the pull for change. To escape my comfort zone, I ventured to London, taking up a job in data analytics for a smoother transition. But sitting in front of a computer from 9 to 5 didn't feel right and the corporate life soon felt confining, clashing with my core value —freedom. So I embraced a period of joblessness, eager for something new.
Unemployed for a few months, I sought something more aligned with my calling. And that's how Sol Glass Works found its way into London. I reached out to a few stained glass studios, several responded, offering opportunities to learn and create. In these studios, I honed my skills and deeply immersed myself in crafting stained glass window and door panels, while creating my original designs. The journey from busy kitchen environment to the intricate world of stained glass marked a profound transformation, shaping Sol Glass Works into a testament of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of freedom.
My journey is all about embracing joy, exploring creativity, and fearlessly venturing into new territories. Controversy doesn't faze me; I'm here to share my truths and shape a life that resonates with my deepest passions. The ultimate dream? A life rich with joy, freedom, and endless adventure, inspiring others to embark on their own unique journeys.
Now, here's the fun part – I'm up for a challenge! If you've got a specific idea or a unique vision, let's chat. I love turning your ideas into vibrant, one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
