Post War Style

 After the Second World War many properties in London survived but bomb blasts in the locality would mean the houses were left without their original glass. A post war style came in that was elegant and cheerful and continues to be popular today. Below are 2 panels made for a glazing company, to be in keeping with the neighbours...

Neighbours design;

The design below is another popular one seen all over South East London...

These 2 panels were rescued from the skip by a glazier from a vicarage in Catford and subsequently rebuilt. They are available for sale, size head height 806mm x width 256mm.

They have a rare glass in the centres, cloudy Cotswold!

On Site Repairs

 These elegant panels had multiple cracks. Glasses were matched and replaced on site...

Art Deco Style

 You don't have to have a complicated design to add real flair and value to your home. These original panels were part of the whole external look of the house when it was designed and elements are often reflected in other features. These original panels had multiple cracks which were replaced on site to keep costs down. As an old glass stockist I often have replacements for discontinued glasses.

Inspired By William Morris

 Recently created this little panel for the Inspired By William Morris exhibition run by the The British Society of Master Glass Painters. The panel was a joint project with Peter Garretty with the painting by Peter and the concept and construction mine. Morris had many sides to his character but the side that inspires me the most is his awareness of the damage that mankind can do to the natural world but with an awe and respect for the power of nature to bounce back. The title of the panel 'Two Minute Warning' comes from American Football where 2 minutes towards the end of a game the clock stops and the players group together. It's a time for reflection and creating that final winning strategy before game over. It feels like we are at the two minute stage, we hear constantly about habitat loss and plant and wildlife dramatically reduced. So much land is paved over but there is much opportunity to change this in small ways at a local level, for example on driveways where so many are paved even a corner of plants or a few pots of flowers can make a massive difference to whether wildlife survives. The quote comes from Morris's book 'Art and the Beauty of the Earth'.
