As some of you probably know, I made a stained glass window for St. Agnes church which was fitted early last year. It depicted the St. Agnes lighthouse and as it looks out over Perigilis harbour, the islanders wanted as much clear glass as possible, so they didn't lose too much of their beautiful view. The locals can now sit in church and watch their fishing boats through the window while still (hopefully) listening to the service.
I was asked to design a second window, to be fitted opposite this lighthouse window, and this should be in place by the end of this year.
The designs required new, shaped frames, and the diocese decided that the church would benefit from the other, blank windows having matching frames. So a local carpenter, Steve Harding is making all six. They are looking good!
This is the existing window depicting the St. Agnes lighthouse, finished last year.....
...and this is the design for the new window showing a gig crew rowing out in rough seas to survivors of a shipwreck.
