From gentle greens to vibrant purples there is a real wealth to the light that shines through Glass. When one of those grey days comes along, a splash of colour can go a long way.
See below for the design & make process: |
Stained Glass Commissions
The first stage of making a panel involves measuring the chosen space, these dimensions can be sent to April via email and she will provide you with a quote. You will then go on to discuss design ideas such as content and colour etc. This will form the basis for April to create a specialised design for you.
Once the design is decided upon it will be drawn up, the glass cut, painted and fired as required in her kiln. The pieces of glass are finally leaded and soldered together using a gas iron. The panel or sculpture can then be delivered to your home or collected in person.
Sculptural Commissions
The sculptures April make require a combination of materials, often glass, metal and lead. Each one is unique with its own personality and way of being made.
Fused Glass Commissions
April's fused glass pieces are often based upon a theme or made for a specific location with the colour scheme and/ or dimensions in mind. Using both transparent and opaque glass as well as fritted glass and enamels to make something that is bold or subtle. The fused glass pieces are a standard 6mm thickness so that they are strong and durable. The glass is fired and slumped in my kiln reaching a temp of up to 780 degrees.
If you would like a bespoke vessel made then please consider colour and design options.
