Stage 2 – Selection of glass and cutting

I keep a broad selection of glass from which I select the pieces I need, although sometimes I may order unusual pieces as I require them. I obtain most of my glass from Creative Glass who can provide a next working day delivery if required. Each piece is cut by hand and ground to the exact shape I require

Stage 3 Foiling

All the pieces are wrapped in a self adhesive copper foil and prepared for soldering

Stage 4 Soldering

The jigsaw of pieces is assembled and soldered together. This may include the insertion of wires and or metal strips, if the piece needs additional strengthening

Stage 5 Patina

The Panel is given a coloured patina which gives the work its distinctive look.

Stage 6 Display

I am able to provide different methods of display; however where possible I prefer to suspend the panel on a rod or cable system.

I use the ShopKit.com cable and rod systems, which provides a very flexible method of display. It enables pieces to be wall mounted or suspended so that they can be seen from both sides. The panels generally benefit from natural sunlight, but up or down lighters and backlighting can also be very effective. ShopKit.com have a wide range of lighting solutions
