Artist, maker and date

Reason for highlighting

Simple and elegant design with beautifully created antique glass from Derix. I taught Stuart as a student and it is wonderful to see him enjoying success as a painter and glass artist.

Other comments

The glass rises over six meters into the atrium space and is made up of several hundred etched antique glass tiles, each treated with vitreous enamel colour and bonded to toughened glass carrier sheets.

Artist/maker notes

Stuart Low is a graduate of Swansea School of Art, and an artist and maker of stained glass. He makes both larger pieces for both religious and secular buildings, along with smaller more intimate pieces. They are often inspired by his observations and interactions with nature.
