We have several projects on the go and a few courses booked. One is a reproduction Victorian fan light, to restore an original feature removed many years ago. The building is currently undergoing a major restoration and the stained glass panel will be the crowing glory over a revamped front door. The design chosen is a fairly simple, but effective classical Victorian symmetrical pattern. As with all our designs, they are based on examples found locally and are hand drawn; hand and eye can produce much better compound curves than computers. The most important part of the design is the left to right symmetry, to get this perfect, I draw half of the cartoon up to the centreline, then carefully fold and trace the other half. Easier said than done but very accurate. Looking good so far.
