STAINED GLASS

Please email or phone us to make an appointment to discuss your ideas for a stained glass commission. All enquires are welcome.

BRIDPORT GLASS STUDIO

Stained glass and traditional lights are created for private clients and for those commissioning for ecclesiastic buildings. We consider the period of a building and the local architecture working in many styles including:

MEDIEVAL NEO-GOTHIC VICTORIAN EDWARDIAN ART DECO ART NOUVEAU ARTS & CRAFT BAROQUE

Projects vary, from a simple leaded light grid of colour-tinted clear glass to panels containing detailed paintwork and mouth-blown antique glass to replicating painted detail of birds, branches and flowers, typically set in roundels or grided panels.

Alternatively you can take a contemporary approach and develop a contemporary design brief to match both architecture and interiors.

We offer the following decorative processes;

traditional glass painting, silver staining, enamelling, sand-blasting. gold and silver gilding, fusing with frits and slumping glass,

The commission process begins with a free consultation and price options are discussed at this first stage. Whatever the project, the client is involved in selecting a glass and colour palette with the designer before making begins.

ARTS & CRAFTS

Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Neo-Gothic, Medieval

We create panels in a wide variety of styles of stained glass.

This is an example of glass from The Arts & Crafts Movement; etched flashed glass, painted detail and the use of mouth-blown antique glass and silverstain. The repeat floral patterns are intricate and of the highest quality in paintwork.

HERALDRY

Heraldry and Coats of Arms can be translated into glass as a centre-piece in a window design or just as a piece to hang in front of a window. This process often involves traditional processes of etching into mouth-blown glass and intricate hand painting which is kiln-fired. Pieces suitable for hanging make unique gifts and can be delivered internationallly.

Each piece of work is priced according to the following factors; size, glass and decorative processes, intricacy of leading and intricacy of paintwork. Prices start at £500 + p&p

COMTEMPORARY DESIGN

Stained glass is tailor made to suit our clients aesthetics and we design in consideration to architectural setting. These images show a stained glass fanlight commission for an entrance of a manor house in Horrabridge, Somerset on the western slopes of Dartmoor. Although the entrance is Georgian in style our clients wanted a bright and dynamic design which drew on a symbol from nature and the arts and crafts tradition to create something to complement their own collection of art. We drew up a design and showed our clients glass samples of antique mouth-blown glass and some streaky art glass and created a very unique piece which works in harmony with the architecture and interiors.
