The John Ditchfield Collector Club

Lee was born in South Wales, U.K. in 1970. During his teenage years his parents owned an antiques and collectibles shop, It was here that Lee feels his fascination for Stained Glass and Design began. There was always something interesting and unusual at the shop, everything from Art Nouveau furniture and jewellery with it's flowing curves , to the geometric Art Deco Furniture and glass with it's sharp and precise lines and also the fantastic and bright colours of the Clarice Cliff and Poole pottery.

After leaving school in 1986, Lee trained as a carpenter, It wasn't until nine years later, after marrying and purchasing his first house, that Lee started to work with glass. In 1995 Lee attended a Stained Glass evening class for a short time, firstly as a hobby. Over the next seven years he continued to experiment with his new found craft, developing different methods and techniques, while continually researching new products and testing new materials. Then in May 2002 he started his own business " L.A. Stained Glass Design "

Lee designed and handcrafted a beautiful assortment of items which include his Unique Stained Glass and Silver Jewellery, becoming John Ditchfield's Welsh silversmith and he uses John's glass to create some of his jewellery

Lee also made Decorative Lamps, Detailed original Panels and Hangings, Christmas Decorations, Garden Decorations, Sun Catchers, Kaleidoscopes, the list goes on.

Lee hopes to follow in the footsteps of the Designers , Jewellers and Craft Artisans of the "Art Nouveau " movement , striving to break away from the machine made, mass produced items in order to hand craft unique pieces of great beauty and form, from new and unusual materials.

Lee has now changed emphisis and concentrates on the jewellery side of his business although he is willing to talk about individual commissions.

All Hand crafted contemporary and traditional jewellery is available in Silver, Gold and Platinum, in a variety of textures and finishes to suit all.
