I took a visit to Shenton Station on the Battlefield Line whilst filming the Winter Warmer Gala and found Station Glass at Shenton Station.
Station Glass which is housed in the station buildings is the workshop and shop of Kayleigh Young who was busy at the hot furnace creating her speciality glass memorials which contain the ashes of a well loved Pet encased in a glass memorial of the animal, be it dog, cat, rabbit or other Kayleigh creates unique one off works commissioned by the owners as a lasting memory of animal companions who have passed.
The film begins looking at some of the works Kayleigh has created and offers for sale in her shop, before we join the artist at the furnace to follow the skilled process of creating a heart shaped memorial containing the ashes of a loved pet cat and featuring blue and white swirls.
The process is seen through to completion with the end result being left to "cool" in the oven overnight.
To see more of Kayleighs work and to enquire about commissions please visit her website at : www.KayleighYoungGlass.co.uk
