Stained Glass
Designs for traditional stained glass are undertaken. Beechenhill Artworks Ltd works closely with a traditional stained glass maker.  

Window, Eccleshall Methodist Church

The three images represent the three elements of air, water, and fire. Air is the wing of a dove, water is a fish and fire is the sun. These three elements join and leave a clear triangle, the holy trinity, at the centre. A traditional stained glass window.


Window, Tynsel Parkes School, Uttoxeter

The design is based on the work of the children of Tynsel Parkes School. Their choice of bright primary colours, gives the design a fresh brightness, and represents all the arts.

Central to the lower window is the cross, with green shapes. The cross is red, denoting the blood and suffering of Christ. The shapes are green, the natural world, all growing things, shapes and colours in harmony, the shapes are similar but different, everyone expressing individual qualities.

Behind the cross are the yellow fields of wheat, denoting the history of the school and reminiscent of the school logo.

Below the cross is a cluster of clear, interlinked glass circles, faces of all the children of the school, in the past, now and in the future. Children may be able to look through these clear 'windows'. The linked circles, also representing science, maths, games and sport, encompass the bible representing all books.

The cross and Christianity link the world and the school with 'heaven' and the love of God. At the top of the window is a row of candles burning with the living flames.

The window is 'faux' stained glass, made from applied lead and glass paint, a less expensive option.

Decorative designs

Designs are carefully thought out and may be produced as traditional or 'faux' stained glass. Traditional glass will last forever, faux may eventually fade.
