This window was commissioned by Hazel's family and the School. She was a much-valued member of the staff at the school and meant a lot to the children and the staff. I worked with them to design a window that celebrated her life. I incorporated designs from the children's drawings that they had been invited to make for the panel, together with images such as daisies and harebells, and vistas of the hills that Hazel loved to walk in. I liked bringing together the things that evoke childhood (noticing flowers and butterflies close up, making daisy chains, for example), things that Hazel loved, and the unique local flora. I used sandblasting on Lamberts flashed glass, and light paintwork & enamels to keep the panel as brightly coloured as possible. It was installed in the Main hall and dedicated in a moving ceremony in the Hall in November 2015.
