Stairs: Large round fused glass art roundel
This glass roundel is inspired by the main staircase in Manchester Art Gallery.
It happened during a Gallery visit to see an exhibition, when I was absolutely struck by the central staircase - full of spirals, strong curves and hard angles - everything I love!
I took many photos - holding my phone down the stairwell, hanging over the railings, looking up, looking down ... each one exciting my imagination in some way I intuitively understood and felt for.
The design was developed to work with my signature vivid colours as a piece of contemporary glass art.
Its strong geometric intention inescapably draws the eye in further and further, achieving a sense of depth I’ve never seen in art glass before.
“Those Manchester stairs have a lot to answer for!”
Designed in my unique Hard Edge Glass style, this art glass sculpture is a one-off piece of glass art, filling any space with colour, light and bustle - a conversation piece if ever there was!
Developed Spring 2023, this Stairs glass roundel is made with a mix of coloured art glass spanning the rainbow in greens, blues, reds, yellows, clear and white, using both transparent and opaque glass.
Glass rods (stringers) enhance the lines of the fused glass art, and really catch the light.
It’s supplied on a custom-made wrought iron stand to show it off to its best. The stand also offers good protection and display stability.
The round glass artwork is 18¼” round, and ¼” thick - or 470mm by 6mm
The stand increases the size to 20.5” by 24” ensuring it really stands out.
This large size ensures it's really impactful.
Handmade in the UK in my Glass Studio in West Lancashire, it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity - signed by me, Linda Rossiter, so you can be sure that your piece is original.

Organic shapes work particularly well with this geometric design. Fake or real, all greenery looks good with the glass!

Glass doesn’t have to stand alone. Display it with other similar - or contrasting objects. It will shine through the mix!
