Description
My sophisticated real glass plaques are of far superior quality compared to acrylic options. I make my plaques using 15mm thick glass, engraved and sand blasted with the number or design of the customer’s choice before being mounted on a stunning grey slate backing plate which really brings out the detail of the etching on the glass. I also use stainless steel fixings to ensure durability, whatever the weather. Obviously sizes depend on individual requirements.
Drawing on many years’ experience of working with glass, I use a variety of techniques and processes to bring out the natural beauty of this hard wearing and versatile medium. The transparent textures of the glass are enhanced by refraction, the bending of light as it passes through the glass and out into the air.
With all the current media reports on environmental pollution, it’s not just the beauty and versitality of glass that interests me as an artist, it’s also the fact that it also has much greater ‘green credentials’ than other, often cheaper, materials such as acrylic and plastics. Not only can glass be recycled an infinite number of times, it also requires much less processing than other recyclable materials which further reduce its impact on the planet.
Based in the beautiful Rutland countryside, I established Timothy Carter Glass & Sculpture in 1999 after graduating from the Chelsea School of Art and Design. I now design and produced a range of unique products including exterior glass house numbers and personalised home or business name plaques.
I pride myself on consistently providing not only exceptional, high quality products, but also offering excellent customer service. I endeavour to respond quickly to enquiries and queries from customers, offer a reliable service and fulfil orders in a timely manner.
True to my aesthetic design roots, my house plaques are both beautiful and functional. Purchasers can choose from a range of numerical and letter fonts and I’m also happy to discuss individual requirements in order to create a bespoke plaque to suit different styles and budgets.
By investing in one of my unique house plaques, purchasers will be investing in a real talking point that will be long admired and last a lifetime. These top-drawer plaques can’t fail to impress my customers’ family, friends, visitors and even the postman!
