A Worcester glass artist has completed a sizeable commission for a business in Cumbria.

Frans Wesselman from Vincent Road has produced nine windows for a small chapel at Larch Cottage Nurseries in Penrith.

He said: “There is a gallery there as well. I had arranged an exhibition of my etchings, wood cuts and stained glass pieces there this summer and when I came to deliver the work the owner of the business asked me to have a look at the chapel with a view of doing some stained glass.

“It turned out to be a very small chapel, of a traditional design, and decorated inside with attractive contemporary murals on the theme of the Last Judgement. I was asked to consider to design and make glass for the nine windows.”

Having for some time considered the possibility of doing something about the Creation story, and given the subject of the murals, Frans realised here was an opportunity.

“My proposal was accepted and from the beginning of July until two weeks ago I have been working on this project.
