Adding Design and Privacy to a stairway window in South Mississauga

 This window located on the south elevation is beautifully lit almost the entire day. I chose to use predominantly drawn antiques for this project from a historic palette.

Jewels and some custom bevel work adds to the bling. This window shimmers in the sunlight. Its personality changing as the sun shifts.

We are back to this location in 2020 to complete a spectacular front entrance.  Details to come.

Completion of a Grand Entrance! Glassworks Studio Toronto

This week we completed the 2nd phase of this beautiful project we are proud to be part of.  The last section to go in was the third level of the leaded glass entry and as you can see we have no issues with heights.

These panels are pure in design flare.  Simplicity at its finest...demonstrating that sometimes the absolute strongest statement is understated. Glass selection was bevels, bevels and more bevels and the background is of course GNA.

Glassworks Studio is a custom design /build stained and leaded glass studio working in the Greater Toronto Area. We specialize in functional art glass for residential applications.

Installation of a Beautiful Entrance...

Here is the initial concept detail for an entryway being built in the studio over the past few weeks...Double sided bevels, custom bevels and GNA... WOW!  We will be up three levels of scaffolding to complete this install... Exciting!

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!

This week is busy finalizing clients' artwork details and glass selection for various projects....and waiting and waiting...  We have been waiting for jewels that were out of stock.. they finally arrived Friday via Chicago. So here is some pictures of the process... This post is focusing on the first of three projects for this client.... Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail is definitely one of my fascinations; needless to say, this build has all of my attention... Beautiful!

Beautiful Custom Leaded Doorlite created for Amazing Build in South Mississauga.

This week we delivered to site an elegant leaded glass panel for the entry of a Beautiful Fine Home built in South Mississauga. I have to admit..  it was a really tight fit...mainly because of the resealing that was required on this unit...  thankful to some amazing installers on this project that knew exactly what to do.. and here are the pictures to show off this beautiful home and of course our process...

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...

This morning we finished up the leaded glass doors we were working on..  These doors originally had acid etched panels in them. We removed them from site...removed the glass and design and built these beautiful panels.  What a great transformation... Love them.. GNA and bevels...and totally unique.  Here are pics of initial concept proposal and the final panels installed..

Relaxing before 2013 craziness starts....

Ok...We are feeling a litttle stressed at the studio but we are still smiling...I am trying to relax before 2013....because as crazy as this sounds ...2013 is already pretty booked...  Our 2013 is actually starting early as we have 99 windows and 13 doorlites to compete for our Thornhill Project before February 1.. Exciting.. ")

We  also have  6 ceiling lenses for another Mississauga Project by mid December..It is funny we have worked on three different sites over the past year on the same street.  Have to say this is a first.  "Glassworks Studio..we are everywhere..."  LOL
