STAINED GLASS PORTHOLES

In 2018 at Crick Boat Show we met Catherine from Cut Glass Gallery and asked her to design a stained glass for one of our porthole windows.

Catherine spent some time making sure we were entirely happy with her design and once she was sure we were happy she produced this stunning window of Irises.



We were so pleased with this that we commissioned Catherine to produce a second glass for another porthole on the boat.




This time we wanted a picture of an animal associated with the canals. After thinking about it we decided upon a duck, and Catherine sourced this design from 'Narrowboat Glass'.

This is the porthole Catherine has produced this time. Just as superb as the first one. 

The glass is currently still in Catherine's workshop whilst we wait for the lockdown to end.

We have now asked for a third porthole glass, this time a structure associated with the canal. Catherine suggested  a bridge with a boat emerging. She asked for some photos of our boat and 'Narrowboat Glass' has produced this design for Catherine to work her usual magic.


Below is a picture of our boat. 

We are sure that once the design is made into glass the third porthole will be just as dramatic as the first two.
