Two windows for home in Marazion
Boquio Iron & Glass has just installed the second of two windows in Marazion, near Penzance, for a private commission. The windows, each comprising twelve panels about 240mm x 300mm, pictorially tell a story. One (illustrated) depicts the history of the building showing its many uses including carpenters' workshop, general store, seedsman, paint factory and most recently The Wardrobe, theatrical costumiers. The second window illustrates the hobbies and interests of the client and includes a panel featuring the Marazion town emblem, as well as depicting footpath walking, travel, reading and drama.
Bringing together the modern and traditional the pictures are made from kiln formed glass and fixed together with lead in the traditional manner dating from the 12th century. Each detail of the individual panes is designed and cut from sheet glass before being fused together in a kiln.
