SPOTLIGHT - The story behind 'Walk in the dales' - A private commission'

A glass wall panel measuring 81 x 46 cms, with an oak frame, in keeping with the style of the customers' home.

Although the process began with a visit to my studio, to discuss ideas and look at glass, I then worked with the customers via email.  It began with my requesting they go for walks in their favourite places and take photos of what was important to them. These pictures took me to the rolling countryside, river, dry-stone walls, stone cottages and of course the field barns ... very much inspired by but resulting in a composite 'walk' in the dales.

Once completed, we reverted to the old-fashioned methods of careful packaging and a long car journey to its Yorkshire home.
