Collaboration with artist Jonathan Cowell

 Jonathan Cowell is an artist producing beautiful works in watercolour, oils, acrylic and collage. He wanted to see how one of his works could look in stained glass. It's always a pleasure to work with artists and to see just how different their work can appear in a new medium. 

Jonathan chose this lovely pastel of Wendy Reading to translate into glass;

First I create a cut-line which we adapt for the glass to be cut;

Then we chose an assortment of coloured and textured glass which is cut and pasted up;

Then Jonathan painted the glass (which is kiln fired);

Then the panel was leaded up;

Then soldered and cemented;

The finished work which changes in different lights.
