Our committee

Moira began her studies in Edinburgh College of Art before training in stained glass conservation in Scotland. In 2001 she decided to start her own business, Rainbow Glass Studio Ltd alongside her husband Stephen. Each year the company has grown and have completed many large-scale conservation projects in historic listed buildings.

Moira has built up her knowledge and deontology to preserve Scottish works of art for future generations to come. She is now involved in both stained glass conservation and contemporary design.

Roberto has been working as a stained glass conservator for 34 years.

Before joining Serpentino Studio, where he is now a principal, Roberto studied art in Italy where he lived for twelve years. Roberto was the first stained glass conservator to be awarded “Recognized Professional” status from the Association for Preservation Technology (APT). He is a Fellow Member of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC), a Board Member of the American Glass Guild and Chair of its Education Committee.

They say there’s no fool like an old fool so as a member of the first UKIC Stained Glass Section Committee I definitely qualify as the latter. As a former chair and treasurer of the group I hope my experience can be put to good use and that my foolishness will provide much needed humorous relief. May the force be with you all.
