A customer in Sheffield had a six panel acid etched window. It was made in the Victorian period and was very highly decorated. A van, parked outside their house caught fire, and the heat from the fire cracked all the glass. We copied the design and made the glass. The customer was highly satisfied. Here are some pictures of the glass as it came to us, some more from the manufacturing stage, and some of the completed work.

We have rebuilt a Victorian leaded window. The original had been the target of vandals, and most of the glass had been smashed but we found some old glass and used it in the rebuild.

In the Sharrow area of Sheffield, an original acid etched window, one of a pair, was accidently broken by decorators. On removal of the broken piece, we found that it was made of 3mm thick glass. As there was an infant in the house, it was decided that this would be very dangerous, should an accident happen, and both pieces were replaced with 6.4mm, laminated safety glass.

A lady in Sheffield had her leaded front door vandalised. The glass dates from the very early 1900's and the damage was too bad to fix on site. We used as much of the original glass as possible in the rebuild. The finished glass was refitted in the door.

We have made an acid etched window for a pub in Leeds called the Adelphi. We replaced one a number of years ago after it was smashed, and the same has happened again!. It is a listed building, so the correct glass had to be used to replace it. The design was a challenge because of it's complexity, and also the size of the window made handling difficult. The glass turned out really well, and the client was very happy with the result.

We have just made an acid embossed window to replace an original Victorian door panel in a house in Sheffield. It turned out well and our customer was very happy.

We were asked to make a granite memorial stone for an unmarked grave in the Irish Republic. There are 2 people buried there who died during the troubles in the early 20th century. Their death was tragic but I don't know how it happened?. A book has been written about them and I intend to find and read their story. The Celtic artwork and lettering were engraved in the stone by means of grit blasting and then infilling with white paint. It has been a very interesting piece of work but at the same time, quite sad. I hope to have more photographs when it is placed on the grave.
I have found out today that 'Le Cheile' means together. I love the inscription!

We have been asked by a customer to apply an image of their bulldog to a glass splashback. I traced the photo and turned it into line art. It was then transferred to a plotter and a stencil was made. The white shape of the dog was painted and the rest of the glass coated in black.
