Bolton School, Bolton


July, 2010
Picture

Bolton School celebrates the opening of their impressive new building for the Junior Girls Division, 'Hesketh House', with a beautiful contemporary stained glass window designed by Andrew Seddon with help from the children, staff and Head Teacher, Mrs Ruth Brierley.

 Stained glass artist Andrew worked with the children to encourage them to develop designs and each make a small stained glass window of their own. He then took their artwork for inspiration for the new window.

The window is to symbolise the new start for the school and is being inspired by a beautiful poem by Thomas Carlyle:
 
“So here hath been dawning another blue day:
Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away?

Out of eternity this new day is born; Into eternity at night "twill return.” 
 


Andrew explains, "I have been working with the staff and children to come up with designs for the new stained glass window. I have chosen to use beautiful deep blue and violet shades of hand made glass for a morning sky which will contrast vividly with the orange, red and amber rays of the dawning sun. I also have a vision for using fusing techniques to intensify the effect of the suns rays by layering glass and heating it until it melts together. This will give a brilliant shimmering effect to the glass which will really catch the eye."
