tap root farms – Rose Window Stained Glass

Bishop Hall, Greenwich NS

1-1-edit in paint

Please contact Lynette to discuss your ideas! When the United Church amalgamated local congregations, 3 old churches were closed. This delightful new installation was commissioned by the Bishop Family after they purchased the former United Church in Greenwich Nova Scotia. They are apple producers with a proud genealogy, so we decided to sit a little girl under an abundant apple tree. I spent time designing and revising with feedback from the Bishop family. My design, colour choices, painting style needed to be in harmony with 2 existing excellent Paul Blaney windows. Once the design was approved, I subcontracted the new wooden frame, and began the process of building the window.
