Designs and Processes 1

These clients incorporated a porch into a larger room. The porch is shown from the outside before adaptation, and from the inside afterwards. They wanted stained glass designed after a window in Lyon, France, seen here on the right.

The colours were revised by agreement and the design adapted to the new shape.

Above: the adapted design, leading-up, and a detail.

Below: the final window in daylight and at night.

Interpreting the Work of Other Artists:

Interpretation 1

Facsimile

Mediaeval roundels reproduced in paint, bistre, stain and enamel for Ely Cathedral Glass Museum shop.

Interpretation 2

Here the clients wanted new glass made to a Victorian design. The colours of the original were changed by discussion.

Interpretation 3

For this commission the client wanted an eccentric combination of St. George and the Dragon with Lady Gadiver. The choice of imagery was approved by discussion in advance.
