I'm not sure when I first came across Nathalie Liege and her fine work. Possibly it was through visiting the English Bridge Workshops in Shrewsbury where she has her studio during the annual Bellevue Arts Festival. But I had certainly met her through our local allotments too! Anyway, a couple of years ago we needed to replace our front door. Our house is in a conservation area and many of the front doors in the surrounding streets have old Victorian stained glass in them so we thought it would be fitting to include stained glass in our new but traditional, wooden door. We decided to approach Nathalie to see if she might design some artwork for it. She showed us some design ideas that she had been working on featuring vegetables from her allotment and, given that we love our fresh, home-grown veggies too, we decided that a design along these lines would suit us perfectly. We chose a design based on a basket of tomatoes for its vibrant reds and oranges which we thought would cast some lovely light inside the house. Nathalie modified the design for our particular door's dimensions and set to work, using all sorts of textured and plain glasses sourced from all over the world to put together the final piece. Her work also involved painting directly onto the glass. The result is stunning. We watch the colours and shapes move across the room through the morning casting varying hues and forms onto the space. It adds life and joy to our home and reminds us of the beauty of the natural world outside - it also encourages us to go down to the allotment to do the weeding!Thank you Nathalie!Moreexpand_more
Nathalie provides a wonderfully professional bespoke service. Her attention to detail with work is without fault - and clients are kept informed of the creative and technical process from start to finish. Witnessing a stained glass window develop is a great experience. I highly recommend Nathalie for stained glass commissions in Shrewsbury and Shropshire. Her fine arts background ensures she delivers superb quality and service that has no compromises.
