With Sculpture in the Gardens opening this weekend, let’s meet another of the wonderful artists exhibiting at this year’s event!

It’s all about finding the perfect piece of glass when Kate Rust is creating one of her stained glass art works.

For ‘The Peacock’, which will be on display at Godinton House & Gardens Sculpture Festival, she found a stunning teal iridescent glass. She said: “It particularly glistens in the sun with other peacock feather colours such as purple, gold and green.”

Another work Kate is exhibiting, ‘Broken Made Whole’, is made from many small pieces of clear but textured glass plus lilac cathedral glass within a magnificent 6ft piece of Kentish oak. Proceeds from this piece will be donated to the charity Rethink Mental Illness.

Kate, who lives on a smallholding in Bethersden, Kent, has worked with stained glass for many years, although she started again ‘more seriously’ a couple of years ago. She said: “I wanted something just for me between the demands of a family and the smallholding.

“Half of my work is for my own relaxation, I come out into my workshop and can get lost for hours! I started to incorporate stained glass panels into wood sculptures for the garden, sourcing either recycled wood or oak from the local timber yard. I love creating them and they are proving to be very popular.

“My inspiration mainly comes from the countryside and I like to think of a design that’s going to show off the shape, knots and beauty of each piece of wood, combining with the colour and texture of glass.

“Sometimes it takes quite a lot of head scratching to work out how to marry the two together as they can be viewed from the front and back. It can be a bit of trial and error. But it’s just about finding the perfect piece.

“Other works I am bringing to Godinton include ‘Resilience and Hope’, which features dandelions – they symbolise resilience and hope through their ability to thrive in harsh conditions and they represent new beginnings. ‘Forget Me Not’, in a beautiful blue with yellow, is set in a heavy natural chunk of oak. ‘Tears fall for a Reason’ is rather special and is actually suitable for a memorial.”
