Reveley Lodge has been linked with the art world for many years and past owner Albert Chewett, a painter, was a pupil of Hubert von Herkomer. The conversion of the old carriage house in our Victorian stables was made possible through a generous private donation and a grant from Hertsmere’s Community Infrastructure Fund.
If you are interested in exhibiting in the Stables Gallery in the future, please email info@reveleylodge.org or phone 0208 950 1017.
Until 3rd January: Mary Corkery, stained glass artist
I began working with glass about twenty five years ago. I always loved drawing and making things, but when I started work I really missed having a creative outlet. So when I had the opportunity I took a course to learn how to create leaded light panels. I signed up without really knowing what to expect. I knew almost immediately that this was the right thing for me. I loved that the techniques from hundreds of years ago are still the same ones being practiced today.
About ten years ago, I took a short course to learn the technique of painting on glass and loved it! I still get really excited when it is time to open the kiln and to see how things have turned out. As well creating panels with coloured glass, I could now add detail with special glass paint and coloured enamels. There are now so many possibilities that everyday I get to create something different.
I love the freedom to be able to create pieces in a traditional style or incorporating unusual objects such as colourful vintage plates and slices of agate.
I am always looking forward to getting on with the next project.
