WASHINGTON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL USA

Please scroll down to see the designs we have produced for Washington National Cathedral.

 

WASHINGTON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL USA
We were approached by the Product Development Manager for Washington National Cathedral in late 2005, with a request that we might be able to work with them to produce a range of quality gift reproductions of the many truly magnificent stained glass windows in the Washington National Cathedral.

The process we then undertook for them involved the selection, and then the complete re-drawing, by us, of 20 Washington National Cathedral window details. At present the range of designs we have produced for the Cathedral is on an exclusive basis, with items only available for purchase from the National Cathedral direct, or from their website, in their store at Washington National Cathedral

About Winged Heart copyright designs for Washington National Cathedral

When we sent over the first hand painted coloured artistic samples for approval we were delighted and very pleased with the enthusiastic response of everyone there at the Washington National Cathedral gift shop (whom we have since got to know on very friendly terms, as if they were just next door to us). A large first order resulted, and our hand painters on glass here in the Scottish borders with Cumbria, in northern England had to get very busy in addition to all their work for UK cathedral customers. Repeat orders of good size then flowed in every month. We were able to supply them to them in the USA on a regular two to three week turnround basis from ordering, as we do with many of our customers over here - in spite of each piece being individually hand painted by brush directly onto glass here (not in China!) with no transfers involved. They were supplied in presentation gift boxes, as they were intended as quality gifts, not heirlooms, (for greater longevity, constant strong sun should be avoided if placed in a window of the home - north or east facing is most recommended for best colours).

In 2007 we were asked to produce a further 6 designs taken from the stained glass windows for the Washington National Cathedral, and once again we supplied these on time, and to their once again enthusiastic reception. Orders continue to be received every month by us, and we have become a regular supplier to the National Cathedral gift shop.

2008, was the Centennial 100th year anniversary of the inauguration of the Washington National Cathedral, and we here at Winged Heart Stained Glass in the UK were very flattered to be asked to produce the commemorative piece that would be given as special presentations, and made available to visitors at the National Cathedral gift shop. We produced this very special piece and it may be viewed by scrolling down below, where two versions may be seen.

We nevertheless hope you enjoy seeing these wonderful examples of reproductions of stained glass windows from the US National Cathedral, by scrolling down below.

All designs have been completely re-drawn by brush, not transfers or photographs, and are based on and inspired by the stained glass pictures in the 'Jewels of Light' guidebook published by the Washington National Cathedral (sent to us by the Product Development Manager with other pictures for that agreeed pupose), and as such are new and completely original designs which remain copyright of the artists, DML and MAE 2006-8. No commissioning payment was asked for or received by Winged Heart for the production of these new original designs, which were drawn as an act of devotion by the artists. No reproductions must be made of these new design works, which are shown here below, without the written permission of the owners of these designs, which new designs have been registered as the copyright 2006-8 of Mara Eagle and Drew Landsborough of Winged Heart Stained Glass in the UK. The copyright of the original stained glass windows at the Cathedral remains as always with the Washington National Cathedral.
