The Glass House (Fulham)

The Glass House was a purpose-built stained-glass studio and workshop for independent artists established in 1906, in Fulham, West London. It was closely connected with the Arts and Crafts Movement.

The Glass House was established at 11-12 Lettice Street, Fulham by Mary Lowndes and A.J. Drury. It closed in 1993 and the building now houses offices and a yoga center. The building was purpose-built with large windows to provide light for the artists. Artists who had studios there, or who were otherwise connected, included Mary Lowndes, Moira Forsyth, Karl Parsons, Christopher Whall, Louis Davis and Wilhelmina Geddes. Moira Forsyth (1905-1991) received prestigious commissions for Cathedrals as well as for schools and parish churches. Her commisions included significant works at Norwich Cathedral, Guildford Cathedral, Aylesford Priory and Emmanuel School, Batersea. The largest collection of her work is at the Church of the Holy Family at Farnham, for which she made fourteen windows over a period of sixteen years; amongst which is a great Epihany window and a Last Supper Supper window. Moira received the queen's award for lifelong services to the arts.
