Decorative Glass Panel ‘The Wood’ by Rebecca Mansbridge

This decorative glass panel is a wonder for adding interest to window sills, side tables, shelves and more.

It captures and captivates the light, bringing untold reflective qualities to your room.

The dark lines show the thin trunks of trees, and the colours in between give rise to the interplay of light and shadow. This, in turn, gives rise to colour intrigues and scintillating beauty scapes that pervade the piece and provide the viewer with a kaleidoscope of visual treasures.

The contours of the cast glass piece ensure that the panel provides a wealth of visual nourishment from every conceivable angle.

Decorative Glass Panel – Artist

Rebecca J Mansbridge is a talented and passionate British fused glass artist.  Her creativity has taken many forms over the past 30 years, encompassing textile media, glass painting, photography and desktop publishing. In 2004, she joined a local workshop group which taught the skills for copper foil work and fusing glass. Rebecca has been exploring the beauty of this material ever since. She simply loves the colours of glass and the way light transforms it.

Rebecca’s delicate and often atmospheric fused glass waves and pictures capture the magical beauty and tranquillity of the natural world. In contrast, she has recently started exploring high-end glass. These pieces are more abstract and tactile. Many play with the way light shining through glass transforms.

Rebecca creates multi-dimensional pictures and free-standing fused glass artworks, like this decorative art glass. Each piece begins through observation and study of her subject matter. She then works out the technical process required to achieve her end goal. The entire process takes many days and can involve up to four layers of glass and countless intricate details before the firing process begins.

The beauty of nature, the tranquillity of trees and animals inspire Rebecca. Every single piece of art, like the fused glass artwork shown here, is handmade.
