Civic Icons

Designs based on civic identity, drawing on historic ironwork, rooftop sculptures and regional motifs, prepared in the studio and translated into clear, balanced engravings for glass.

Understated and precise, each piece reduces complex forms into line, proportion and engraved form, with optional personalisation added as a single, considered inscription.

From Artwork to Engraving

Each commission follows the same studio process, from artwork preparation and proof approval through to hand sandblasting and finishing in our Fife workshop.

The Story Behind the Collection

A collection shaped by civic design, where ironwork, carved stone and regional emblems influence how each form is resolved on glass.

Detail is controlled through line, proportion and contrast, allowing intricate elements to remain legible while retaining the structure and clarity of the original source.
