This weekend we installed my latest
commission – double door panels at the cottage of Mary and Don Spring.
My husband Peter and Don installed the
panels and hung the doors.
The project was in the design and
fabrication stage for a few months, and we were all eager to see the panels in
situ. Interior door panels pose a
specific challenge. They are viewed from
both sides, and usually do not get direct light. I made 3 test pieces using different colours
and techniques, before finalizing my design. These pieces were also at the size limit of
what I am able to fuse as a single panel in my kilns approximately 20 by 30
inches each.
Mary and Don were wonderful clients. They trusted my creative and technical
skills, and let me be the artist. Of
course there were a couple of requests; a winter/summer theme, with birch trees. And I kept them in the loop as the drawings
and tests advanced. I didn’t want the
panels to be too big a surprise!
