"Where Tulips Gather"
 

This custom Arts and Craft–inspired stained glass vase was born from my admiration of the heritage homes in my city. When I’m out walking my dog, I often admire the craftsmanship of their stained glass windows. I wanted to create something that captured that same spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement—but a simple window just wasn’t going to cut it.

​

As I like to create 3 dimensional objects, I chose a vase as the canvas and designed it around a tulip motif reaching for the sun, framed by the strong vertical and horizontal lines that define the era.

 

Standing at 13.5 inches tall and measuring 6 inches square at the belly, it's trimmed with African Mahogany. It contains 405 individual pieces of glass and took roughly 70 hours to complete.

It was accepted into and sold at the "2026 Sooke Fine Arts Show".
