Window for Micklefield
School in Reigate, Surrey 2009.
Early in 2009 I was commissioned by the parents
of two children who had attended Micklefield School
in Reigate, Surrey. Their children had such a
fantastic time at the school since the nursery
and now both had moved on to secondary school.
The parents wanted to give a gift to the school
by way of saying thank you.
A transom panel on school building called Belton
House, (after a previous head teacher), was the
perfect place for a stained glass panel with a
difference. All the school children were encouraged
to draw a picture inspired by their time at school.
The best 40 were picked and we made them using
the same fusing techniques as we did on the St
Martins School window. Little pictures fused
and fired surround the acid etched name of the
building.
A small gathering to open the window was arranged
and the children sang their school song for us
all. Lovely!
