‘Still Life’ Stained Glass Commission

This week we have been designing and making a stained glass panel inspired by a previous project called ‘Still Life’.

The stained glass design is a composition of wine glass, wine bottle and carafe.


There are several handmade elements within the panel;  including blown, diamond-wheel cut & etched glass.  All adding to the bespoke and unique nature of the commissioned glasswork.


The panel has been commissioned by a local business as a retirement present for one of their longstanding employees.

The stained glass will be installed into a wooden free-standing frame, made in oak.
