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.

Leaded Glass Windows off to final destination..Glassworks Studio

Here are the final four windows off to their home....These windows 2 by 2 flank a central fireplace...Very Nice..   Privacy not a big issue because of the height they are located at and the outside landscape.  Beautiful.. elegant, and of course some bling...

Leaded Window off to thermal unit make up..

my Artsy shot...glass in the studio...

These leaded windows have since been sealed within thermal units...and have been delivered to the window manufacturer..  Awesome!

Stained Glass Privacy Panel..."Flower Power," almost complete.

Here is the panel that we showed off  last week...well here is the progress....almost done...thank goodness for glass saws!  Check out the background glass...only a saw could do some of these cuts.  I have to admit the hardest thing we did was reassemble said saw.... which I dismantled over a year ago... Now it runs so well...new bearings, bushings and diamond blade! Sweet!

Leaded Glass Windows Toronto...and some flower power..... Glassworks Studio

Here is a project that we have been working on this week and last...as a refresher...which means we are working on multiple projects and go back to this one... just because..   It is fun, whimsical, and definitely different.  I don't think I have ever seen a glass panel quite like it....  Our reference on this particular project.... a small purse...  Moroccan inspired.. 
 
"Very Cool....Very Different!"

Bevels, Bevels, Bevels..Yes..Custom Bevels at the Studio this week..

Yes.... Bevels, Bevels Oh.. Custom Bevels.  We have been bevelling Starphire Glass this week...Talk about Bling....  I really do not know how many times Amanda or myself  was caught just admiring this panel.  We are so excited about it...  Smiling all day..

Very high end glass going in this project...Starphire, Ocean Gluechip, Antique clear Crackle, and of course GNA.  Color is a Kokomo Green along with a Seafoam Green.  The outside border is a chocolate fusible glass that we decided to cut up for this project..  Plenty of sparkle  and some great color saturation too.  WOW..  Yes these pictures look great ...but you should see the real thing.. AMAZING...  We will be working on this next week along with some more doorlites..

Glasswork Studio is a custom stained and leaded glass studio in the GTA... We absolutely enjoy creating amazing glass projects for residential applications! www.glassworksstudio.ca
 

Absolutely beautiful & functional.Our latest privacy panel.

OK I know that we are a little biased...Here is the next project to leave the studio this week...A privacy panel for clients in Oakville...Now this is a little different ..it is almost a landscape...or should I  say "waterscape"  Amazing glass for the water is Kokomo Blue Green in Clear Streaky.(One of my favorite...)  This is a great demonstration of glass transformed.  This is the same glass we used in the St Michael Hospital panel in Toronto...One project was a leaded contemporary..and this one is a copperfoiled waterscape...Awesome!

In this project we used most manufactures that are readily available..Spectrum Glass Company for the sky, Bullseye Glass in Cranberry for the flowers, Paul Wissmach Glass for some plants, Uroboros for plants and even some Yogy...

Amanda has been working away on this panel..truely another labor of love...

 

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

..I love it... the excitement and the promises...Back from holidays and I just want to get going!! 

Here are some pics  of 2nd street Oakville..Obviously Rennie Inspired..Have a great weekend!

My Artwork based on  Detail Below...

Our panel...just before it left for thermal unit makeup....next pic it will be installed!  "Beautiful and functional Art Glass."  LOVE THIS>>>

A little stained glass artwork at the studio today..

From little tiny concept drawing to full scale layout...We are definitely loving what we do lately...This feels like the calm before the craziness starts...  This project can be summerized by color, color, color....Just wait till you see the finished panel.  

 

Leaded Cabinet Inserts..

These inserts are based off a project that I completed a few years ago...Once a door lite transformed into two cabinet inserts...Wow..."yes...we can do magic at the studio..." LOL

Here these beauties are...

 

And an exterior pic...of the leaded casements and transoms!

OK...We know that leaded glass looks amazing from the inside of your home....AND I am of the opinion that "our opinions" are the most important (Anyone who knows me ...is probably changing the  "our" to "HER"..haha...funny funny...

Well here is a picture of my lastest installation and proof positive that as "GREAT" as decorative glass looks from inside your space....WOW it looks amazing from outside too!

Just saying... Simply Awesome!

This door lite was inspired by an entrance in the UK...great colors, contemporary feel, traditional style! Our client emailed us a pic..a few changes and WOW......  Beautiful .... another amazing project!

 

Leaded Glass Transom...almost "zen-like...."

Glass constantly amazes me...I work on designs and /or builds everyday...and yet I am always inspired...constantly in love...with glass....

Take this panel....loved it from the word go...gentle curves..bevels and bling....GNA and German Cathedral...all my favorite things...and free artistic license too....  How I love what I do...  :)

What I have to be most thankful for are my amazing clients...how we cross paths I do not always know...word of mouth, website, referrals, other trades...It does not matter ... :)  

Here are pictures of a transom panel we recently finished.....Belleville area...."Sandbanks.."
"Inspiring....
I have to say thank you to  John and Shirl for finding my studio and for these great photos!
and thanks to Amanda for working so hard...even when things  need to be adjusted to make them just right...Awesome job!

Glassworks Studio 2012 Leaded Glass Library Windows in Ajax!

Today we were off to Ajax to install 8 windows in a "Harry Potter Inspired Library," that is currently having its final touches put in place.  And here are "OUR" final touches! Don't they look great!

More overlay and finally Woodedens Interior doors start!!! YEah....

Interior Door Panels for Woodeden...www.glassworksstudio.ca

First off this week we are working on Overlay windows with Gothic Pointier Peaks at the top.  We are waiting for a sheet of German Cathedral to come back from the sandblasters..this piece will make up the background for a ceiling panel.  And then the bevels arrived from San Diego for the Woodeden Project in Mississauga....

All very exciting...But it is gong to be another crazy week....finishing on Friday with another installation of Drawn Antique Mirror...NICE!!

Braeside Windows (9) Overlay..

Today we were at St Mike's Hospital in Toronto installing some BEAUTIFUL GLASS!!

www.glassworksstudio.caToday we spent the afternoon at SMH in Toronto..it was a great afternoon...installing some beautiful privacy panels.  Dominant glass used in regards to color pigment was English Muffle Cobalt Blue and PW CC in cobalt blue...and although these were privacy panels we used quite a bit of GNA and Restover at the top section of the panels...so that the Toronto sky shines through.  These panels are "Mondrian" in style and inspired by the love of cobalt blue and watercolors..... as clearly represented with the Kokomo Green, Blue in Clear Ripple.

Love these pieces and I hope that you love them too...Relaxing ...Heart Racing....Cool ..ALL AT ONCE!

This week..a lot of door lites...

www.glassworksstudio.ca
This week the door lites were completed for the Oakville Project.  There were a total of 5....3 were done GNA with the bevels and the others were built in German Cathedral. Very nice.

Today I completed the drawings for the Ottawa project...well I completed the details for the transom ...so hopefully Andrea can start this weekend...and then next week there is a total of 8 doorlites and four transoms being shipped...

This weeks hint for glassers...if you are using zinc for the perimeter of your panels...clean it with paint thinner before applying your black patina to make your finish nice and dark.

Have a great weekend!

Progress...custom bevels done..now panel assembly..

whew!!!Ok all of the custom bevels are done...finally...in case you did not know...beveling is only expensive because it is so time consuming..  Now that they are done the door lites have to be copperfoiled and soldered...YES...this means there is still a lot of work to complete before I hit the beach...These door lites are all being installed in a grandroom/sunroom.. I should say "GREAT" room.  Every appointment at this residence is simply elegant.  A few touches of "BLING."  I love it!

So these are my column door lites in progress..Let me know what you think.

Have a Great Weekend!
