Chiltern Hills Window
The brief for this window was to base the design
on the Metro land posters of the 1950’s. These were produced
to advertise travel by the Tube and as the customers’ house
backs onto the Central tube line, this is a very fitting setting.
The Chiltern hills are depicted on a sunny summer
day as the perfect place for a country walk. Employing a mixture
of mouth blown antique and machine rolled glasses this window is
a real focal point to the dining room and also affords the privacy
needed from the neighbours. The detail is painted and fired in a
kiln using traditional methods unchanged for centuries. This method
of using strong bold line work gives the feel of a lino print design.
There is the inclusion of some secret words hidden in the bushes!
