Assessment and repair of a large stained glass window (3320w x 4420h) that had been installed in a flimsy metal frame. The lead panels were cleaned and repaired, and alterations were made to the borders while a new framing system was designed and installed. The window depicts Jerusalem.
Conservation of a South Choir window that had been damaged and repaired with thick protective plate glass. The panel was dismantled, releaded with an appropriate lead section, and wire guards and bespoke ferramenta sets were added for protection.
Restoration of a 16th-century set of 4 heraldic shields and quarry clusters on a west-facing window that was in danger of decay due to failed adhesives and water ingress. The work involved unpicking previous repairs and re-assembling them into legible artifacts, fitted back into the window with external protection and internal ventilation.
Creation of bespoke stained glass windows for two households. One involved adjusting a painted scene to fit a new door, while the other incorporated patterns from a Victorian tiled path and a floral motif.
Restoration of a badly vandalised window depicting the bearing of gifts by the Magi. Fragments were pieced together to create accurate copies, and replacements were cut, painted, and leaded. Careful matching of glass was critical.
Replacement of severely damaged glass in a window, using kiln-fired glass to match the original. The restored window was refitted and protected with a stainless steel wire guard.
Repair and releading of three stunning windows made in 1855, including the large West window entitled 'Hail Happy Union'. Protective glazing was installed. The windows celebrate the union between France and Great Britain.
Conservation of a stained glass piece damaged by a lawn mower. The missing section was infilled with coloured resin and painted details were added, making the repair invisible within the surrounding heavily painted pieces.
Repair of an armorial crest in a North Aisle window that had been damaged by vandals twice. Photographs from previous damage were used to complete the missing piece, which was then edge-bonded and back-plated for stability.
Design and creation of a custom stained glass window for a stairwell aperture, featuring a border of wisteria and a Koi Carp pond motif to bring the outdoors in.
Creation of a bespoke stained glass design for a front-facing sash window, based on a client's unique computer-generated design, modified for glass fabrication. Various glass types were selected for texture and light transmission.
Creation of two windows for a new room and bedroom in an old country cottage, designed to obscure views of a brick wall and neighbour's garden. The windows were inspired by Mondrian paintings and incorporated a rose motif, using textured and handmade glass.
