Over the past couple of decades I have been gradually interviewing other stained glass artists, to archive their life stories for posterity. The first of these interviews was actually with a glass engraver, Anne Dybka, who was a close friend. Anne passed away in 2006. You can listen here on Soundcloud.

Martin Van Der Toorn
After a long hiatus I commenced the process of interviewing other stained glass masters. With a bit of investigation I managed to locate Martin Van Der Toorn and his wife Norma, introduced myself and explained my project. They were most welcoming and over a number of visits we became firm friends. They are both well into their 90's now. You can listen to our conversation, which runs for just over an hour, here
