Beetle Tree

A unique stained-glass panel designed by Veronica Smith, that is hand-painted, kiln-fired, and crafted with a leaded frame. It includes copper hooks for convenient hanging.

• Approx. Size: 10.5cm x 14.5cm

Each stained glass panel is entirely hand crafted using mouth-blown antique glass to add depth and atmosphere. Veronica hand paints the stained glass with layers of glass paint and silver stain, and then kiln-fires each piece, before framing with lead came using traditional methods, making each panel totally unique.

• Veronica Smith is a stained-glass artist, conservator, and researcher. Her distinctive stained-glass designs are inspired by Gothic imagery, nature, and wildlife, primarily drawn from the local surroundings of her home studio nestled in the striking landscape of the Pennines region of northern England, from where she creates her unique, individually hand-painted, and leaded stained glass. Each panel is skilfully and painstakingly crafted using the same traditional methods and techniques reminiscent of the centuries old craftmanship found in the magnificent windows of churches and historic buildings.
