Stained glass and glass painting are heritage crafts which are in danger of being lost: Jane is very committed to reviving these skills through embuing them with her own special charm and imaginative details.
For her debut with us we have chosen a range of her dog-inspired pieces, including small dog roundels - each in different colourways and backgrounds with nose-perched robins - and the wildwoman and wildman pair, with their dogs, ideally themed to our winter 2024 exhibition concept.
These small pieces have been painted using traditional vitreous paints and no two are the same. They make an ideal gift, window hanging or feature to brighten up a small nook.
ABOUT JANE LITTLEFIELD
Jane studied Fine Art at Ravenbourne College of Art. Always interested in design and making, she has been working with stained glass since 2004. She now specialises in traditional glass painting to create small panels and architectural commissions.
Jane uses vitreous paint, silver stain and enamel to paint on glass which is leaded up into panels in the traditional way. Each piece of glass is painted and fired three or four times building up layers and textures on the glass.
Using age old traditional techniques, she has developed her own contemporary style of working, which is deeply influenced by medieval stained glass, its history and imagery as well as the landscape of the Peak District.
An area rich in folklore and tradition, such as well dressing, garlands, giants and stone circles, the Peaks and Dales provide ongoing inspiration for Jane’s narrative.
She has also worked with Hull Minster in their lottery funded public engagement, focusing on heritage and stained glass and has been running workshops, open days, demonstrations and talks at the Minster.
