In 2004, he and Stephen Byrne established Williams & Byrne, their innovative glass painting studio, in Shropshire, UK.

Students travel to visit the studio from the USA, Japan, New Zealand, Australia - and of course from all over the UK and mainland Europe.

Stephen Byrne

Stephen trained under David when David was studio manager and chief designer at the stained glass studio in central England.
