Stained Glass Trypych

 My customers had seen a job I made for some friends of theirs and wanted something similar for 3 horizontal windows in their conservatory. The design they initially saw was this one...

                      

and then saw a photo of a stained glass fanlight at Leeds Central Library...

I revised a few elements of this design and found some beautiful handspun pale green roundels...

                        

 The conservatory looked out onto an amazing garden full of life and colour and the brief was for something leafy either side of the fan shape to compliment the garden view. Two birds, a robin and a bluetit were included.







The panels were then sealed into units to replace the existing units...




Glasses used were a mix of hand made greens, reds and background glass (Lamberts, Hartley Wood, Tatra. St Just) with machine made glasses for the central fan panel and the birds. A very enjoyable job!
