Recent Projects are shown below. Other examples of my work can be found on the website pages.
Sequence 3 Fused Glass Wall Panel - 420mm x 600mm
One of a series of wall mounted panels, it is made from
224 separate pieces of glass, fused in a kiln to make a single panel.
This design lets light through, so that the coloured shadows on the
wall contribute to the visual richness of the panel. Although modern in
style, the rectangles are based on the classical proportion - the
'Golden Section'.
Price including wall mounts - £450
Interior Leaded Panel
This is one of five panels designed for a Glasgow tenement
flat. The panels are fitted over the internal doors. the overall effect
was to turn a plain hallway into a striking feature. The funtional
windows for each room became design features.
Dunblane Masonic Lodge
I recently the restoration of a
window for Dunblane Masonic Lodge. Made up of four panels, the window
was made in 1891 and features two large figures with emblems above. The
panels are finely painted with some breakage and a general
deterioration in condition of the leadwork. The restoration involves
reproducing some painted sections, UV Gluing to repair breaks, and
rebuilding the panels with new leads. This work is carried out in the
studio, prior to re-fitting the finished panels.
Below are the restored lower panels. The inscription at the bottom of
the right panel had been broken and a replacement was painted and
fitted.

This is a
recent leaded panel for a front door in Callander. The design was
developed from a mosaic patterned front step at the house. Approx. size 820mm x 440mm.

This mirror
is hinged and hides an electrical cupboard. It is made from oak with
glass insets. It is basedon Macintosh motifs and was made for an
original Arts and Crafts house in Glasgow.

is an
artwork exhibited at the Scottish Glass Society exhibition
'Migrate' at Broadfield House Glass Museum, West Midlands in 2010. It is made
of cast, fused black glass, with metallic silver. The frame is painted
