Perth Prison Religious Stained Glass Windows
Stained glass windows to be inclusive for all religions.
We received a brief from Perth prison, they requested some sketches of stained glass designs which would be used in the prison chapel. The chapel is used for meetings and group work. This space serves prisoners as a calm place, so very different from the rest of the jail. If a man should come into this space troubled and struggling, he should leave with a sense of peace and quietness.
Our design proposal with the written explanation.
The design consists of three parts in each panel. The lower portion represents our path through life, which is never direct or straight, which is represented by the wandering lead lines running across each panel. The heavier straight lines running from top to bottom represent the incidents that cross our path through our lives and the decisions we must take to continue whether those be good or bad. The next portion above represents the rich and varied life we all strive to achieve, as natural light shines through this section the faith centre will be flooded with rich and varied colour, showing that this can be shared by all. Finally we come to the upper section which is devoid of any disruption representing the tranquillity and peace of heaven which we all wish to attain, but can only be attained by passing through the second section which is rich varied, and, most importantly is a life of sharing and giving.

Frequently asked questions
Provided the panel is accessible and in otherwise good condition, a small number of cracked pieces may sometimes be replaced in-situ, although the manipulation of the lead may be visible. If the lead has been bent or stretched out of shape, then the panel may need to be completely rebuilt.
We will try to match the new glass to the existing as closely as possible, however, a precise match may not be possible in texture or colour. You can see an example of this on our restoration page. The new lead may have a slightly different profile to the original, and will have a more uniform satin black finish, different to the finish of the old lead. If there are one or two minor cracks in an otherwise perfect panel that is well fitted, then leaving them alone would be our recommendation.
We can certainly give you free advice on how to seal any broken lead in your stained glass window, if it is a small crack then some simple materials and tools can do the trick. However, if there is extensive damage then we would suggest a full repair, and depending on how precious your window is to you we would also advise window protection.
Your window can be saved, although it would mean its complete removal. It would then be stripped down leaving only the glass sections and completely rebuilt before being reinstalled.
The cost of manufacture a stained glass window depends on the size and complexity of your project. The larger the project, the more materials you'll need and the longer it will take to complete. However, we can provide a range of prices based on typical projects. As an example, we offer a range of prices for making stained glass designs for vestibule doors and other large projects for churches. Our most basic designs possibly start at around 800 for small door windows, and our most complex are priced up to 5000 or more. Again this is just an estimation, please call us for a free consultation to get a better idea on price.
Most of the time “leaded glass” and “stained glass” are used interchangeably. The term leaded glass is a blanket term used for all windows that comprise of several pieces of glass which are held together by lead cames and putty. The term stained glass would imply that coloured glass is used in the window structure.
