Day 4
On the wettest, greyest day a splash of colour from the first panel I ever made.
Inspired by stage lighting changing colour where the beams intersect.

#StainedGlass

A square leaded glass panel with colourful beams of light intersecting and changing colour where the lines overlap. Vibrant blues, greens, red, yellow, purple and orange segments seperated by black lead lines and in a square black frame.

Day 3
Wow you talented lot thanks for sharing your work ⭐️🌟⭐️
Sometimes the reflections are the star of the show as in these Rothko inspired leaded stained glass panels from a time before I knew to write down what glass I was using. The hunt for that red is on!
#ArtAdventCalendar
#StainedGlass

Three small leaded glass panels in the style and proportions of 3 Rothko paintings. The colours are reflected onto a wooden surface in shades of blue, amber, purple, a wavy grey waterglass and a stunning deeply reflective red.

Day 2 Medieval style panel designed to look like fragments being reused. Pieces were hand painted using traditional glass paint and a dip pen with silverstain added to the reverse to colour the flowers yellow. Then kiln fired before leading up.

Fused glass Blue Nude omage to Matisse. Two kiln firings, firstly kiln carved then enamelled. I like the clear version as it shows the depth.

Following my copper seahorse inclusion project's lost flame painted dimension it was fun to make this piece combining copper inclusions with kiln carving. The aim was to add dimension and texture to increase the play of light capturing qualities of the clear glass. #Craft
#Stainedglass
#Fusedglass

Fused glass transparent panel with an under the sea feel, copper seaweed fronds with kiln carved branches and swirls behind. The kiln gifts bubbles captured in the glass unpredictable but complementing the design.

Slight change of lighting highlights different aspects of the glass panel's swirls and bubbles

Before and after of an experiment to see if flame painted copper would survive being fused inbetween glass. In short no,1 the colour variation was lost but I'm still happy with the final piece and the learning.

Victory in Europe 80 years on. Remembering the sacrifice of those who lost their lives & the sacrifice of those who lived out their days despite what they had witnessed. Thinking how our neighbour Doug kept his promise to a friend who didn't return by looking after his family member until he was 98

A flower pot of flowers with two British union flags, a rememberance cross and 3 poppy day poppies marking 80 years since the second world war Victory in Europe. We will remember them.

Exactly the right question, posed by James Frith MP in Westminster Hall today.

"Why do the loudest AI tech companies expect to train their machines on human-created content for nothing?"

Work in progress:
Today on the bench I'm leading up this Mondrian inspired stained glass panel which is going to replace the 1970s wooden doors of a serving hatch. First time making to fit a specific gap so accuracy is key!!
#Stainedglass
#Art

In the process of putting lead came around a variety of sizes of quadrilateral textured clear glass with red, yellow, blue and white glass accents in the style of Mondrian. Glass is laid out on a board and nailed in place with horseshoe nails and plastic clips to keep it together during construction.

Highly recommend Hidden Figures the biographical drama about 3 female African-American mathematicians: Katherine Goble Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson who worked at NASA during the Space Race. Loosely based on the 2016 non-fiction book by Margot Lee Shetterly.
