A stained glass rooster lights the workshop doorway with green, red and blue. The maker holds its short chain high in one hand and supports the solid base with the other, keeping the large panel steady as she checks the joins. Dark solder lines separate the textured body pieces and the curved fan of tail feathers.

Her indigo dress and terracotta apron sit quietly beside the stronger glass colors. Upright offcuts, a pair of goggles and a small drawing on the wall explain the working space without taking attention from the finished piece. Sunlight from the garden passes through the translucent sections, revealing both the decoration and the care of its construction.
