Commissions

Some of my more recent commissions for stained glass windows can be seen here.

I am always pleased to accept commissions for both domestic and ecclesiastical stained glass. The latter is a special privilege.

St. Michael & All Saints, Bulley

Millennium commission for three stained glass windows in St. Michael & All Saints Church, Bulley, Glos.


I treat each one as a unique opportunity and the design will reflect the brief from the client or committee and the architectural setting.

I have a B.Sc. in Architecture and my early training as an Architect, together with my experience of conservation work in the last 15 years, gives me a particular insight into stained glass in an architectural setting.

Private commission

Private commission 2001
St. Edward the Confessor, Keymer
I enjoy glass-painting techniques and silver-staining and the use of the best quality 'mouthblown' glasses. I also use acid-etching techniques on 'flashed' glasses.

I prefer to use traditional leaded construction and treat this as an integral part of the design, as did many of the Arts and Crafts artists of the late l9th. Century, to whom I often look for inspiration.

Arranging a Commission

If you are interested in having a commission made email me with as much information as possible about your ideas along with your contact details and I will contact you personally to dicuss things further and arrange a meeting.

After an initial consultation I can give an estimate of commission costs. I can then proceed with sketch designs as necessary for applications to Diocesan Authorities, etc.
