Stairwell Sensation!

 I recently completed this set of 4 stairwell panels. I have creatively photoshopped this image - can you spot the difference?! 

A summers day in the winter...

If you live in a period style home and are reluctant to make too many changes to the most visible areas, a small space in a bathroom or kitchen is an ideal opportunity to branch out and have something that you really want. This design has been adapted to fit so many different shapes over the years and its uplifting nature never fails to give pleasure. For this job there was an added bonus in that we recycled some original green glass from another window into the leaves in the new panel. 

The original design was based on an Art Nouveau set of panels from Barcelona...

A few of the adaptations ..

Jazzy Design

This bright and cheerful design was based on a customer photo which we adapted to fit 2 door panels. The background streaky glass was cut from a single sheet of glass and all the streaks needed to run through the pattern. The glass came from a supplier Hartley Wood, no longer in existence so a little extra pressure! The other glasses were chosen for their brightness and light catching sparkliness!

Southwark Fire Station

Restoration of the 'FIRE' lamp for this grade 2 listed building (or buildings!). Built in the 1870's it has a fascinating history SOUTHWARK FIRE STATION, Non Civil Parish - 1385916 | Historic England, and established the prototype for London Fire stations in the 1880s. It was the first headquarters for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the home of the first Chief Officer, Captain Sir Eyre Massey Shaw. The buildings are currently being redeveloped as flats.
