Flora Jamieson x William Morris Society x Crafts Council

Introducing an exciting collaboration with The William Morris Society and the Crafts Council: an exquisite new range of hand-made stained glass pieces. Celebrating impeccable craftsmanship and intricate artistic vision, these hand-painted glass quarries capture the enduring beauty of stained glass windows typical of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Meticulously designed by myself, each piece is inspired by the delicate yet ornate artwork of William Morris, combined with my playful, whimsical style and love of the natural world.

There are 5 designs: each one features British flora and fauna, hand-painted onto beautiful mouth blown glass in pale tints, replicating the stained glass quarries (decorative squares or diamonds) often seen in the windows and doors of houses from the Arts and Crafts era (1880-1920).

Each quarry measures approx. 10cm x 10cm (4” x 4”) and is framed with a lead border. There is fine wire attached for hanging. Beautiful to display individually, or collect the set of 5 designs.

The quarries are available exclusively from The William Morris Society.

These thoughtfully crafted stained glass pieces evoke a sense of nostalgia, paying homage to the rich heritage of artisanal craftsmanship. With a focus on quality materials and attention to detail, these charming, limited edition works of art are destined to become cherished heirlooms.
