St.Felix in Haverhill, Suffolk gets a beautiful hanging sculpture, on the eve of this newly built Catholic Church being handed over to a delighted congregation. Built on the site of the original church using money raised entirely by the congregation, the new building  provides a wealth of facilities including a beautiful worship area, kitchen, meeting rooms, and a stunning entrance area complete with font and hanging sculpture. The sculpture takes Baptism as its theme, with reference to Matthew 3:16. Images of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and scallop shells, the symbol for Baptism, can be seen in the lower areas of the panels, which have been hung on stainless steel wires from the roof of the 8.5m high tower.

I was recently ask by the very welcoming and friendly Loughton Methodist Church to design and make four windows for their new Creative Art Centre in Epping Forest, London. In partnership with the Christian Drama Resource Centre, the Church has embarked on an ambitious new project to build a purpose made Centre for the Creative Arts. Working with the community and local schools, the Centre will perform a variety of roles including theatre, dance and drama outreach work. Its a lovely project, and should be completed by May this year.

I am in the process of completing an exciting new sculptural commission for St. Felix’s Church, Haverhill, Suffolk. As you can see from the artwork, it takes the form of a hanging sculpture in six pieces. The colour scheme is rich blues and greens, with a dash of red, and includes images and symbolism associated with Baptism. It will be suspended on stainless steel wires above the font, and is due to be completed in time for the grand opening of this wonderful new church in May .

The wonderful new pod at St. Lawrence Church in Alton, Hampshire has recently won the top award from the John Ambrose Award for Architecture 2011.  The pod was designed by architect Simon Goddard, of the Goddard Partnership and brings a new kitchen, toilets, meeting room and storage  area to the Grade 1 listed building. I had the great privilege of designing and making the 35 sq.m glass screen which wraps around the pod. The screen illustrates the long history of the town of Alton, stretching back to the Roman and English Civil War periods, with other visual references to bygone local industries, the local school, and a map of the town dating from 1666.
