Bevels, Bevels and more Bevels, Glassworks Studio Toronto CANADA

This week I am starting full scale layout for a project that will start 2016....These windows are for a historically noted  property in Toronto... that I have been given permission to recreated instead of reglaze the existing.  There are a total of 64 windows for this project and great way to start 2016 in 2015.  With extensive bevelling that needs to happen .. all parties including my friends in California are very happy.. maybe this will warrant a trip in the spring. :)

Here are some pictures of previously completed projects that show our capabilities when it comes to this type of work.  Custom designed, custom bevelled, custom built....this is what I love to do!

First is the front door insert we did for a client in Halifax Nova Scotia. Next is just showing the amazing difference when we run the beveller on Low Iron Glass (no green inflection.) absolutely stunning with crystal like clarity.   Last but definitely not least... is the project we did for "The Strain," when the filming was being done in Toronto.

The beginning of a skylight! Glassworks Studio, Leaded and Stained glass in the GTA.

Glassworks Studio is located in Mississauga Ontario CANADA.

Its amazing... all skylights start the same....and then they evolve..  Glass Design starts and we move forward..  The plan for this house in King City is "Simple Elegance."  German Cathedrals,  custom bevels...and a little grey &  gold..

Old World Style...our specialty.

Today in studio...Continuation of Transom window.... Beautiful! Glassworks Studio CANADA

Today the transom is being finished...well finished in terms of the assembly....tomorrow she will be cleaned and polished...Wednesday the sidelites and this beauty will will leave too be sealed in thermal units....  Here is a great photo Amanda took to show the "flow" of the Baroque background glass.. have to say...makes me smile..

Exact glass cutting and amazing glass selection.  Every piece of background glass is a continuation of the one prior... This is flow...   kudos to the photographer for also capturing the RED Glass from the studio door.

  Glass...  Glass.. Glass all around us!  Inspiring.. Here is the pic..

Starting 2015 with some awesome projects at Glassworks Studio, one beautiful entrance being built this week!

I have a great feeling about 2015.. there is just something about a fresh start that feels so great!  We have quite a few upcoming projects that we are so pleased to be part of...

This weekend we installed the first transom window of many that will go in this year....  I will keep you posted on the progress of this project as we complete each element...   bevels will be arriving soon... we completed the interior door panels last year... this transom went in today ...and next we tackle the entrance... "Timeless.. Understated... Old World Charm and Elegance." is all that is this beautiful home.

This week we also completed the leaded panels for a beautiful entryway for an Oakville Home.  These bevel sidelites and transom incorporate a little clear granite and a lot of clear baroque...  Check out the great cutting...all of the individual pieces of baroque flow together..  Each section of this project is cut from huge sheets of baroque...  The bevels were a few select clusters we were able to bring up from the States with also quite a few from our orphaned bevel box and then a few customs...  So beautiful!

We created a huge mess this week in the studio and a few beautiful windows also..

By the end of this week the studio needed a thorough clean up.  Friday I washed the walls, the floors, vacuumed the cutting tables...put boxes of bevels away.. ordered more stock... Oh I also painted giant chalk boards on the wall of my office..to try to improve the organization and flow.  I have to say it was an awesome week again although pretty exhausting.  Here are a few pictures.. including a dirty look at our bevelling station...
