BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, Stained Glass in Minsmere with Arabella Marshall

Glass artist Arabella Marshall takes Clare for a walk at Minsmere in Suffolk.

Glass artist, Arabella Marshall, takes Clare for a walk at Minsmere in Suffolk.  Their focus is an old chapel ‘bleak and broken’ which provided Arabella with the inspiration for a major work of art: a new stained-glass window fitted into one of the ruin’s old apertures.  It’s a striking modern feature in the abandoned building.  The idea came to her when out walking which, alongside her artistic practice, is the thing she loves best in life. She says rambling alone provides creative inspiration and a space for problem solving.
