Very excited to share that I’ve been commissioned by Unite to make a stained glass window commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. The 4 Oct 1936 was when the people of East London came together to force back fascist Oswald Mosley and his blackshirts. ~KeiraMclean

One of a series of 12 windows depicting Arthurian tales. Geraint and Enid, a 14th century romance. Artist as yet unknown... Likely to be one of the Cottier gang... ? Listed as 1910 (there are windows here that look 1910, but these look earlier, 1880's. ) #stainedglass #glasgow #scotland
