Commissions

In addition to mirrors I also decorate windows and door panels in both interior and exterior situations.

It is easiest to decorate the glass prior to installation but existing windows and door panels can be decorated in-situ providing easy access can be obtained to both sides of the glass. For work in-situ, lead joints will be tucked rather than soldered.

The decoration method works best on single sheets of glass - ie single glazed windows and door panels or a glass sheet later to be installed in a double glazing unit.

Please contact me if you're interested in such work.

Here are some examples of leaded work I have completed as commissions:

1. Tulip doors & fanlight.

These storm doors and fan light are decorated with a striking tulip design.

The photograph is taken from inside to show the effect of sunlight shining through the glass.






The transmitted light creates lovely coloured shadows on interior walls.

2. Frosted bathroom door.

This bathroom door is decorated with a trailing flower design created using lead and glass pebbles.

The frosted effect maintains privacy whilst allowing light to stream into the hallway.

The Andamento logo has been adapted from photographs of this design.

3. Small rose window.

This little window was my first piece. It was designed to compliment a wallpaper motif and to obscure an unattractive window.

The lead used in this particular piece actually has a brass finish to match the wallpaper and the lead joints are therefore tucked rather than soldered. It is difficult to see these effects when the window is backlit but they become apparent when frontlit.



This is the wallpaper motif on which the window is based.

4. Mirror.

At 60cm by 30 cm this mirror is slightly larger than my standard ones.
It was made to brighten up the end wall of a dark landing which was otherwise bare, hence why I felt free to let loose the flowers, swirls and border rather than confining myself to one or two elements!

4. Kingfisher Mirror.

This is probably my favourite mirror to date. It was made to fit a blocked in window recess and is 50cm x 50cm in size.
