The glass engraving of Laurence & Simon Whistler, as seen in this Finzi Bowl, is near miraculous. It seems that they have engraved or drawn with light itself, particularly when photographed lit against black. Wondrous!

[The Maker's Press @themakerspress]

The final poem in @TowersKatharine’s new pamphlet, ‘let him bring a shrubbe’, is inspired by Laurence & Simon Whistler’s engraved glass ‘Finzi Bowl’, in the @AshmoleanMuseum.
Here are the two images from the bowl referenced in the poem’s first lines.

Finzi returned to Chosen too, taking his new book with him. A return with mixed feelings: a place of inspiration for him in 1925, and the bitter-sweet final visit to the hill, and this sexton’s cottage, in 1956.
