Leaded Glass Windows installed this past weekend...WHOA! GLASSWORKS STUDIO TORONTO!

This past weekend was a "working weekend." Jobsite coming to a close in Mississauga...very exciting and sad at the same time.  Leaving my glass with amazing clients is awesome...BUT..  I know I am a little crazy.

Well here is what was installed... You will recognize from previous posts that we have been working on this site for over 3 months. I must say a "THANK YOU" to my great clients, the awesome interior designer and of course fine home builder...I loved this project!

ENJOY..

Leaded Kitchen Inserts off to site...

Today we delivered a large number of leaded inserts to one of the great cabinet makers I enjoy working with...Top Notch Cabinetry in Oakville...18 in total....Yesterday we delivered to another cabinet maker in Mississauga..I guess it has been a week of work for the love of kitchens.

 Tomorrow I am on a site tour in Oakville..a "social meeting" I would call it...I love these meetings....on this site we sandblasted a pantry door lite.. LOOK at the doorlite detail...this relief was taken off a napkin that the client provided to us...Have to say love it...and totally one of a kind...This technique is referred to as stage sandblasting...sandblasting is done to different depths into the tempered glass to achieve the detail ....AMAZING AGAIN! 

Enjoy and let me know what you think...

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!

This design was inspired by nature.  Our client presented her drawing of the project ...we slightly modified her sketch and WOW...Very Nice!  This leaded glass transom was being sealed this afternoon in a thermal unit before heading off to Belleville....Cannot wait to see the after install pictures of this one!

Leaded Glass Transom and Entry....

Here are more pics of a site that we having been finishing up our Leaded Glass Installations this month of July.....All panels were custom designed and built for this project (like all of our projects!)...everything flows but nothing too "exact."  Here is a picture of the front entrance that we created for this client.....Glass is mostly GNA with some German Cathedral....clusters that were imported and some custom bevel work....and lots of our little facetted jewels everywhere....

Love this....

This panel is obviously a Celtic Cross for another friend in Oakville....Bevelled Glass pieces are like sparkling jewels.  We custom bevelled 10mm thick glass to achieve this effect....which is awesome...Black opal surrounds these bevels and small hammered is the background...Cannot wait to see it when the back lighting is on....

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!

I love all glass....Traditional Leaded, Foiled, Hot Glass, ALL GLASS...

Working on a site in Ottawa...here is the layout for a contemporary interior door lite.  This house looks amazing...... the conceptual rendering from the architect has a definite WOW factor..It did it  for me...

Here is my concept sketch for the doorlite..of course there is a touch of my favorite color "RED"

Beveled Glass Kitchen Inserts....These are really nice!!!

Here are the custom beveled cabinet inserts that I polished today..they are still not complete as I have to solder little medallions at the intersections.....but so far so good...  No details were overlooked here...every piece of glass is custom beveled...even those tiny corner pieces.....And they look "WOW"

Makes it all worth the while.

Leaded Glass Transoms off to Ottawa...

Ok this week I finished the Rockcliffe Park Project...4 transoms and a total of 6 interior door lites.  WHEW!!
This afternoon the crate was picked up and off they went on a big truck to Ottawa.  I loved this project but am glad that they are shipped.... Today was a great day at the studio..I cannot explain...just in a happy place!  I polished some beveled panels that are for some cabinet inserts...relaxed and then went to Oakville to visit some new clients....TGIF....Hope you have a great weekend...

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!

Going on an adventure this week... :)

Have I told you that I love what I do...lately??? :)

This week I am working on door lites for an Oakville site.  All are the same design style...symmetrical, linear...classic and strong...in 3 of the doors GNA is dominant ....lower level of the house where privacy is not required...upper level doors will be made of Wissmach Corrella Classic....Nice!  Of course multi-faceted bevels and pencil bevels are almost part of everything I do...."My Bling"  These doors will be installed Wednesday...

Thursday I am off to Barrie and then Horseshoe Valley for 2 sites...Imagine me working on glass for a "Guinness Pub"....a little slice of heaven for me....

So here is a pic of this weeks work so far (patina and polish have not been done yet-these are oh natural still- and yes it is only Monday....As you may notice painting elves have also been working hard at the studio...painting out all the beautiful trim done by Victoria Strong Manufacturing Company....Looks great!
