This week at Coriander Stained Glass we have been very busy with a project in Devon.

Combining coloured and hand painted glass, this beautiful round window creates a stunning focal point for the home.

This picture shows the process of the leaded light coming together; after creating a template for the design each piece of glass is hand cut and laid over the design.  The hand painted birds are also laid out at this stage, after they have been kilned.  Here you can also see the lead is being cut to size and moulded to the shape of the glass prior to soldering.  The pins are used to hold the glass in place whilst the window is being pieced together like this.

After soldering and cementing, the window is ready for fitting.  Here you can see the last part of the process, with the window in place and the putty waiting to be cleanly cut away.  Already you can see how beautifully the light shines through and has created wonderful patterns on the wall beyond.

And finally here we have the finished piece with some close ups of the birds lovingly hand painted by our in house artist, Margaret.

The finished piece looks wonderful and is very in-keeping with the beautiful Devonshire coast.

Despite our London location we are happy to cater for all requests across the country so if you have seen something you like in our stained glass portfolio or have an idea of your own please do not hesitate to give us a call or drop us an email.

And finally for today we’d just like to say a very big thank you to all of you who have been supporting us on Facebook and Twitter.

Check back later this week when we will be sharing some more hand painted work for a Victorian Stained Glass window we have recently completed.
