Braeriach and Cairn Toul from Beinn Macdui

Morning Glass would like to wish everyone best wishes for the festive season and beyond into 2008. We reopen for business on January 8th 2008 and look forward to another great year.

 
Victorian stained glass stairway light, fully restored.

Over the last few months I have been working on the restoration of a large stair light from a house in Rhynie. The panel was originally a single window, but when it was removed for restoration it was obvious that it should be split. The panel contains a beautiful large central painted section, and to avoid a support bar obscuring the painted work we constructed a zinc-rebar armature (below).

Outside view of central portion of panel, showing zinc-rebar armature.

Images of the removal process can be seen in the Restoration Gallery here.

 
Work by Norrie Watt has been added to the Friends of Morning Glass Gallery.
