The Royal Academy of Arts, located in the heart of London, is a place where art is exhibited and debated. Its shop stocks an exclusive range of art and craft inspired by acclaimed Academicians. To coincide with the show "A Bigger Picture", Peter was asked to interpret in glass, Hockney's huge painting "Arrival of Spring". Relishing the challenge he created a new series of the same name which has been received with great acclaim.
