About Bath Aqua Glass Limited
Architectural and Stained Glass
“My approach to glass is intuitive, fuelled by a continual fascination of the relationship between coloured light, space and the architecture that it is part of. As an artistic medium I find stained glass truly inspiring. With its origins rooted in the sacred geometry of our ancient past, it continues to embrace our need for colour, in many of our modern architectural settings. For me it is all about using the very nature of glass that gives me the creative freedom to create something beautiful. A living art that makes me feel alive!”
A tireless and enthusiastic artist that has become renowned over the years for his architectural and stained glass works. Over a twenty year span he has created a style of working termed ‘natural ambiguous imagery’. This combines his artistic and photographic investigations of the natural world to create original designs that are both true to the ethos of the arts and crafts and have readily become ‘modern classics.’ These windows are manufactured to the highest standards of master craftsmanship using mouth blown sheet glass (roundels blown to order), and traditional lead work. Enhanced works can also include glass painting, fusing, etching and photographic screen printing- budget allowing.
From an early age Themis has been inspired by his father, Byron Mikellides, an Oxford Don Professor and an international pioneer in the field of Architectural Psychology. This exposure to the world of architectural psychology, and the international colour conferences attended, has given him an intuitive and scientific background to his use of colour in his architectural stained glass practise. After attending an art foundation course in North Oxfordshire, he was accepted at the internationally renowned Architectural Glass College at Swansea. Twenty years on, a revisit to the now known Swansea Glass College, sees him enrolled on an MA in Glass, where he is currently pursuing the marriage of art and technology.
During the course of his artistic career his commissioned works include pieces for Public Art Projects in municipality buildings, schools & hospitals, reflective windows for worship, domestic sites including conservatories, and gallery orientated wall art. Themis is frequently commissioned for public and private works both in England and abroad. Recent international commissions range from medieval windows for a private chapel in Port Harcourt, Nigeria to contemporary windows for Washington and Alaska.
If you are interested in his architectural and stained glass windows and would like to know more about commissioning; the process is very simple. The price of each project is normally influenced by three factors, size, complexity and the materials used. All works are carried out to building specification.
