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.
