Emma Blount

Emma designs and makes stained glass windows for churches and front doors, as well as drawing and painting on paper and painting on glass. She lives and works in North Norfolk. 

Graduating from Roehampton University in 1999 with a 2:1 degree in Art for the Community, Emma has been working for herself designing and making stained glass windows ever since.  Training again in 2008 at top stained glass studios, having won the Award for Excellence with the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass. Each client has been a joy for Emma to make something beautiful for, and each window has been a privilege to birth. Including a window in memory of Churchill in Bladon in Oxfordshire. The window was unveiled in 2014 by Camilla Duchess of Cornwall.  

Emma attended London School of Supernatural Ministry from October 2017 to April 2019, where she laughed a lot while learning how nice God is. A regular activity was standing in a line on the pavement and cheering anyone who walked by.
