The brief for this stained glass window
was to base the design on the Metroland posters of the 1950s.
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 stained glass 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!
