This beautiful collection has been inspired by the timeless British Countryside

Tayders work stands out for its attention to detail, the colours of the subject and the play within the structure of the glass to create an illusion of  3 Dimension.

Creating a new piece starts way before even the cutting of the glass.  I enjoy walking in the countryside, visiting sanctuary's and observing life.  I may spend a while making a few sketches and take a few photos as reference material before settling down in the studio.  Good light is essential as is good  ventilation as the process often involves scratching into the dried 'paint' - this is made of powdered glass held in a medium to enable the painting process.  Like any traditional painting this process is lengthy.

I present my work in a number of ways.  This first set are mounted onto wood - to me this gives the work the greatest freedom to breathe.
