A recent piece of work I was inspired to make after visiting Elliot Walker Glass Sculpture at Blowfish Gallery in Stourbridge. Elliot is the only person in the UK reviving the extinct historic craft of producing mouth blown sheet glass in the UK. He gave a great glass blowing demonstration of how he creates the glass as a cylinder and all the processes involved to make it into a flat sheet. This stained glass piece is made entirely from glass that Elliot has made. I bought some pieces that we're still curved from the cylindrical forms and I managed to successfully flatten them out in my kiln so I could include them in this piece. It was a joy to work with such special and beautifully made glass.
Once the circular window was made it deserved a beautiful display stand so it can be appreciated in exactly the right place to catch the light. The stand was designed and expertly crafted by Grahame Jebb at Grit Studios using an ash base and brass fittings.
Overall height 51cm, glass 30cm diameter
