From Christmas Card to Stained Glass Art

It can often be said that inspiration can come from the most unexpected of places, and the same can be said for this stained glass panel.

After receiving a lovely Christmas card, our customer was extremely taken with the design on the front, so much so that we used it as inspiration to create a design for some new stained glass.

This beautiful piece features a spectrum of blues, including a special glass called flashed glass. This is a kind of glass that is clear with a layer of colour on one side, which we have sandblasted to create stars in the night sky. This is a technique we have used in other projects but we think creates a fantastic effect! The star of the show is a mid flight barn owl, soaring past a glowing full moon with lots wispy glass to create the look of feathers.

What wonderful character this window now adds to our customer’s front door, to be enjoyed day or night!
