GLASS WITH METALS
These amazing forged metals and cast glass gates were made by a collaboration of artists.
The initial design including the heads was by Neil Mackenzie of Visionary Fine Arts
The metals were forged by members of Rylance Limited
The glass was cast by Julie Bolton at Jersey Glass Art studio.
The team of metalworkers and blacksmiths were:
Nathan Twomey, Kate Webber and Fil Guy.
The guilding was done by Catriona Ellery.
There are two iron gates each with two cast glass heads back to back.
The heads are held in place with a copper band.
The four heads are made of two slightly different designs,
they were cast with bullseye billets.
There are up lighters that highlight the gates and illuminate the glass at night time.
View at night of the closed gates with the illuminated glass.
Sorry about the quality of the images at night,
It was hard to get the glass and metals to show well but I think you can get an idea of how they look
