Topic: For our pleasure:- William Walker's work.

[chopin-liszt]

Mr. Walker has very kindly sent me some images to show everybody. I am copying and pasting from his message the descriptions.

"The paler large open bowl is of the West Dorset coastline from the sea looking back at low tide, bright, spumey..sandbars, pools...blowing a gale...
this bowl is about 300mm across."
(first 2 pics)

"The other, darker landscape is of Lulworth Cove, Dorset"

"The  Aarum Lily chandelier is pretty self explanatory, it's 2 metres tall by 1m. 80 across."

Last one. This is a landscape of Loch Oskaig, Western Highlands.

Wow lovely glass and very nicely photographed.

Particularly like the Lulworth Cove, really dramatic.

This is staggeringly beautiful glass.  I'm new to GMB but have been a fan of William's for many years - I remember well the studio in Wimborne Minster.  Would love to see some more pictures please if they are available, to keep me going until I can get to Weymouth !

I am hoping Mr. Walker might find some more images, but if not, at least we have these.

Welcome to the gmb, Martyn! I see from your signature that we have simialr interests.

Thanks Sue - I've been collecting odd bits of Michael Harris / William Walker 'designed / made / inspired' glass for many years.  I think I got my first piece of William's at an exhibition in Bath in the mid 80's and holidays in Malta led me in the Harris direction (and at that time I did not know the link between them).  They have given many years of pleasure

There is a lot of Mdina/Harris talk on the board here, and loads of lovely pics. Just have a good browse.
