Hey!

I’m Kate and I am the person behind Paint & Glaze. I live with my partner Ben and our fur-baby Lola in Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, every product that is made happens right here in our little house and kiln shed!

I am a full time nail technician by day and work mon-fri with my lovely clients, who have now become more like friends! I then spend my time before work, in-between clients, afterwork and weekends running Paint & Glaze.

We started back in lockdown when the beauty industry closed for over 12 months due to COVID, I found myself bored and a little lost. I knew I always wanted to keep in touch with my creative side after graduating with a Textile design & Surface Pattern degree back in 2020. I woke up one lockdown morning and announced to my parents (as i still lived at home at this point) that I wanted to buy a kiln.. and I did. Paint & Glaze began!

We have been so lucky to have grown SO much since we started back in 2020, trying new things each year; markets, workshops, wholesale/stockists etc. Its tough juggling the two jobs sometimes but I do it because I LOVE it and i’m just so grateful that my products are now in many homes and loved by many customers - it makes it so worth it!
