stained glass exhibition

Journeys/Teithiau Exhibition, Rotherithe

Seek His Face, Christian Ryan, 2023

A travelling exhibition of small stained glass artworks on the theme of Journeys, by Jonathan Cooke, Catrin Davies, Nicola Kantorwicz, Elizabeth Lamont, Rachel Phillips and Christian Ryan.  On this occasion they are joined by talented illustrator Sandra Doyle: www.sandra-doyle.co.uk

This exhibition is a continuing Journey:  originally planned to start in Wharfedale in 2020, It was interrupted by covid restrictions, went online, and in 2021 it was one of the first post-pandemic exhibitions at Ely’s Stained Glass Museum.  From there it travelled to St Mary’s church in Barnard Castle,  as part of their Windows to the World festival, and for the Open Heritage weekend, to St Helen’s church, Denton in Wharfedale, home to an important picture window by Henry Gyles.

In late 2021, a sheet of hand made streaky glass made by English Antique Glass was cut into six equal pieces, with lots drawn to allocate one to each artist.  They are responding to their portion of the whole in separate and individual ways, creating six new works which will be brought together and seen for the first time at Rotherhithe in a unique collaboration.

This weekend exhibition has been planned to coincide with Music Antica Rotherhithe’s first concert of the new season,  Saturday 17th June at 7.30pm, featuring La Commediante – Banchieri’s madrigal comedy Barca di Venezia per Padova and extracts from Landi’s La Morte d’Orfeo
