A hint of Rennie Mac!

It was a pleasure to work on this job in Dulwich, a simple design but with a lot of style...

We used some old glasses to match the original side panel along with some beautiful hand made opaque glass and hand spun roundels.

Castlefield Hotel Manchester

Back in 2012 I visited the Castlefield Hotel in Manchester and came across these beautiful panels in the chapel / quiet room. The set of panels had a really unique style and so much energy in the design. I love the way that different techniques are used; cast glass roundels, painted and acid etched detail. At the hotel nobody knew who made them and for the last 8 years I have had them on my website asking if anyone knew. Finally I found out as I joined the recent webinar given by Martin Donlin for The Worshipful Company of Glaziers. There I saw early works in the same distinctive style and contacted Martin to see if I was right! Turns out I was and Martin had not seen the panels since he installed them (his first public commission) and was delighted to see them again...















and I was equally delighted to get some of Martins books in the post as my reward!
