Back at St Bede’s.
Matthew O’Donovan and myself finished the stuccowork in July and this was left to dry for few weeks. Now I am back and together with Teresa Llewellyn working on the painting and finally gilding the work with 23.5ct gold leaf. The work is really starting to take its shape and looks amazing.
The windows are being etched and delivered back on site and hopefully installed on Wednesday or Thursday morning.
We have one more week to finish the work. The scaffolding is being taken down on Friday the 27th in the afternoon.
