Martin Donlin is an architectural glass artist, based in the UK. He utilizes complex but striking graphics in the luminous effect provided by firing vitreous enamels to thick float glass during the tempering process. These effects are achieved with silkscreening, airbrush and hand brushing. He also makes good use of acid etched blown glass, both in leaded panels, and laminated to tempered glass.

Donlin is a very effective public artist. The imagery and text he uses in his work typically relate to the location and physical characteristics of the site, its historical heritage and meaning, and its identity.

The Empire Theatre Liverpool - 20' x 48'. This daring theatre entrance is set between two existing buildings and constructed of tempered glass assembled with an independent frame system. The art work is accomplished with the silkscreening and hand brushing of vitreous enamels and etching.
The main concept for the design has been inspired by torn fragments of theatre tickets.

At the bottom of the design a large area of sandblasted glass exists to accommodate text, this includes a brief history of The Theatre, a list of Donors and a selection of some of the famous performers that appeared at the Empire Theatre in the past.
