We’ve been busy here at Coriander Stained Glass and we’ve a couple of projects to share with you today.

First of all we have this simple design recently restored in a front door in Southfields, South West London.

Stained Glass Restoration

The smaller, feature windows make a simple design quite eye catching, accompanied with the textured glass.

Next we have this nine  panel window created for a home in Wimbledon, SW19

Edwardian Stained Glass

This piece is typically Edwardian with many of the defining features of the era; a flowing floral design over a background of clear obscure glass.  The main features have been picked out in stronger colours and different textures of glass have been used which are both also features of this era.

If you’re thinking of a stained glass design for your own home, head over to our stained glass portfolio page for more ideas and inspiration.

 

Becoming Picasso: Paris 1901

For all the art lovers out there, our pick for the Easter weekend is the Becoming Picasso exhibition at Somerset House’s Courtauld Gallery, until May 26th.

The exhibition documents a 19 year old Picasso’s move from Spain to Paris in 1901, and the work he prepared for his first exhibition in the city.

Although this exhibition does not hold any of the famous Picasso works we know and love, if you’re looking to see what inspired greatness, then these paintings were where it really all started.  Tickets cost £6 and can be booked via the Courtauld Gallery website.

That’s it from us for today, but check back soon for our latest projects.  You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
