The water feature that was featured in the medal winning show garden in Cardiff has now moved to it’s temporary new home at Oriel Ty Coch (Red House Gallery for us English speakers) where it will feature in an exhibition inspired by the outside. Here are a couple of behind the scenes mobile photos of the water feature being installed.

Here’s a “Before” photo of 4 of the panels for the water feature in the kiln ready to be fired. The panels will be fired to a temperature of 1400 degrees Fahrenheit / 760 degrees Celsius over a period of around 16 hours. Some of the glass will change colour as part of the firing process. We’ll post an “After” photo tomorrow.

Here are the latest visualisations of a glass panel. This one is the size of two breeze blocks to make it very easy to fit into a wall. 4 fused Candy Stripe pink/red/lavender panels are rotated across a clear 6mm sheet of glass. The panel is hand made, going through multiple firings in a kiln up to temperatures of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Each panel is made to order and so exact combinations of colours and patterns are totally bespoke.

We have exciting news! Our glass art for the garden will have it’s first public outing at the Royal Horticultural Society Cardiff Show from the 16th-18th April 2010 in Bute Park.
Light Kiln Glass has been asked to produce three pieces of glass art for a show garden by C J Garden Designs.
The current plan is to produce three different pieces – a water feature, a self standing sculpture and a larger wall panel. The picture above shows some of the sample colour panels that we are producing that may feature in the garden.
