Abstract Stained Glass Transom Window – Studio Journal

The studio has been working on designing and making an abstract coloured glass window panel. The stained glass panel will eventually be fitted in the transom (toplight) window above the customers door.

A number of colour arrangements was tried, working to some set colours and a sample of the clients interior colour scheme.

I used different textures to add interest with repeated colours and it will influence movement of light across the whole of the panel.

Looking forward to seeing this panel, (once the cement has dried) – up towards the light.

Circular Traditional Stained Glass Window

The studio recently completed a restoration, which turned out to be a complete re-build of a 1950’s circular stained glass window panel. Really a new window based on a traditional pattern, in-keeping with the property. All of the background clear textured glass has been replaced and the centre diamond (also replaced) is handmade mouthblown amber glass. A simple pattern, with good use of colour and texture.

A pattern was made of the existing window which was broken in many of the glass pieces, the glass was then cut to pattern, leaded, soldered at the joints and cemented (putty based) to make stronger and weatherproof. The window has now been fitted back into the window frame of the customers home.

Ednam House Restoration

Just been to visit with a fellow stained glass colleague from ‘Decorative Glass Restorations’, a Victorian House that is being restored and converted into apartments.

The stained glass needs restoring and there are a number of breaks in some of the panels that will need to be replaced with restoration glass to match. Amazing large 22 panel landing window, front door and side door all need bringing back to their former glory.

A glass project we worked on last year with ‘West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust’ and local school pupils & college students, to design two stained glass windows for the Former Lye and Wollescote Cemetery Chapel Building (now known as the Thomas Robinson Building), has been shortlisted for the ‘Best Community Action Project’ in the 2016 Historic England Angel Awards.
