Latest Variation on Tree of Life Glass Splashback
Getting ready for our two new Sales Agents!
Things are afoot in the Glassification workshop as we get ready to welcome two new members of the team.. (but more about them later!) The first thing we needed to do was make it easy for them out on the road, with a set of sample boards to show potential customers (independent kitchen and bath retailers in the first instance!).
Well, one thing lead to another, and we decided to rationalise our stock designs, creating ranges in different colour ways. So here’s a sneak preview as the samples went into the kiln of Urban Stripe, in Yellow / Grey, Orange / Grey and Orange / Ivory (to add to the Red / Grey we currently have.
Then Shards in Blue and Green, and in the corner one of the samples in Plum & Blue of the Field of Flowers Range (which will be our largest range)
Tomorrow I’ll be working on the Tree of Life series, and 3 new colours in the Spring Zest series, (which will probably have to find a new name!)
Exciting times!!
Bringing a little sunshine to a kitchen in Somerset!

Glassification’s Christmas Shop
Better get a wriggle on though… last posting day is 19th December.
Another happy customer !
Although Christmas production is full on in the Glassification workshop (we’re referring to it as Santa’s Workshop, Ilton Branch!) we still managed to fit in an installation of a splashback for our customer in Warwickshire.. once the kitchen installers are finished we hope to pop up again and get a good photo of the whole room in all it’s magnificence!
Huge success at Grand Designs Live!
So a great time was had at Grand Designs, sharing a stand with Austin Matthew Design (a daily run kitchen studio near Stratford) and Aga. And our splash back display got a lot of positive attention!
They are now up for sale at a bargain price of just £200 a panel. We can trim them down slightly if required (currently approximately 975 wide x 600 mm at highest point) or even make more panels to match if you have a bigger space. If you’re interested, contact us NOW before it’s too late!
Our latest glass splash back commission is unveiled!
After many months of waiting, finally we were ready to install the 3 panel tryptic to it’s pride of place in the heart of a lovely family kitchen… This was particularly heartwarming, as the customer was one of the many families devastated by flooding on the Somerset Levels this winter.
After many months living in a caravan, they have finally moved in, although there are a few jobs still to be done, but as they said, at least they have some space now… their new kitchen is about the same size as the whole trailer!
So great news for them, but there are many families still waiting to return to their homes.. lets hope they all get home soon

Austin Matthews Design, our latest retailer!
Austin Matthews Design has become the latest retailer of our splashbacks.
Nestling in beautiful countryside close to Stratford on Avon, Austin Matthews is a family run kitchen studio, specialising in quality handmade designs. And their lovely showroom no has a new addition, a clear glass Tree of Life, specially designed for their particular space.
Whilst it wasn’t the easiest install we have ever done (understatement of the year!) we got there in the end, and now it certainly looks the part behind the Aga!
And we are very excited about collaborating with the guys at Austin Matthews, and Aga in the coming months.. just watch this space!
Glass – a nightmare to photograph!
OK, I admit it, leading is not my favourite technique of working with glass.. but combine it with fusing and the result can be quite pleasing.. but WHAT a nightmare it is to photograph!!
I suppose it doesn’t help that I only have a compact camera, but even so, even professional photographers with all their experience and paraphenalia can rarely capture the depth and vibrancy of glass. it just really needs to be seen in the flesh!
So this panel is made up of three fused pieces.. I have “jelly fused” the glass, (basically a slightly cooler firing in the kiln) which keeps a lot of the texture of the glass.. it’s one of those pieces you just want to keep stroking…
