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.

"Ooh-La-La Lovely" ...Custom Bevelled and Leaded Glass by Glassworks Studio..

Inspired by a 16th century English Tudor Castle these leaded panels are for a grand modern kitchen...originally created for New Jersey kitchen designer Jim Dove. A graceful blend of modern and period elements for the 2012 showhouse at Glynallyn Castle in Morristown New Jersey.

My focus this afternoon is polishing these beautiful bevels before the panels are assembled... and I can not take my eyes off them... the hairs on my arms stand up as I look at the glass cut, clarity and pitch...so beautiful..

Simply in design.. old world quality.. yet classy and elegant.  Everything that I love to do simply comes together with this project..

Here are some photos... Nothing like sitting on the cutting table Friday afternoon eating lunch and looking at some amazing glass..sit back and enjoy.. k

Sidelites with a clean contemporary feel.. with bevels and jewels just because... Glassworks Studio

Here are some photos of the sidelites that were completed in studio this week. Now we are waiting for the tempered glass and the LoE to arrive so that they can be sealed into thermals..  These sidelites are "long and lean" measuring  8 7/8 x 92 3/4".  I know they have a contemporary feel... to me I just think "timeless!"  Functional and beautiful art glass...  I love these!

Leaded Glass Transoms X 5... Glassworks Studio this week..

Every table at the studio is busy...whether we are making custom bevels, cutting the glass for the next leaded panel, building and glazing panels or applying the patina and polish...everywhere is go, go .. go! And I must admit I love it.. this craziness.  One might think by Friday we would all be exhausted but no...  Friday was a great day from the early morning start (7am) to the finish... (7pm)


Today I walked through an amazing site I was at 2 years ago.. well it is almost ready for us...first up will be interior doors...  then exteriors, transom windows and the entry...  This project will be worked on at a methodical pace.. with other projects being worked on during the entire process..  The largest build I have worked on ..  unmatched with the quality of the work that has been and is in the process of being completed..  Amazing architectural design, planning and thought...  Simply beautiful..  Great owners ...  this is why I love the process.  Lots of pictures to come in the next few months and over the next few years.


This week ..we shipped 21 windows to be sealed...  another great build in Burlington... these are being sealed with Cardinal 366 and argon to meet their requirements.  We completed the layout for a new entrance for South Mississauga Project...and We  completed the layout and built leaded transom windows for our Hamilton Project.. (the interior door lites are already at this site since before Christmas)  Here is a pic of initial plans and some of the panels on the table being polished.
