The studio originally had a roof and large windows fitted with 19th century textured glass. As windows have been broken the panes have been replaced with whatever was conveniently available from a builders' merchant so there are now a variety of styles. The glass is rolled when hot, with either one or two rollers. The texturing is achieved by pulling and pushing while fluid, or by using a textured roller. It is called hammered glass because the surface resembles hammered metal, or cathedral glass because it is decorative.
