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.

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!

A few posts ago I showed off our initial artwork for this panel...Now complete and ready for install...but first we have one more panel to do for these amazing clients..  I feel like I talk about our great clients a lot...

Leaded Glass Office Doors in Toronto by Glassworks Studio...

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..

Glassworks Studio, Artwork for Second Street Project, 2012

Well here it is...I finally had a moment today to go and look at one of our sites that was actually finished up before Christmas....and I have been so excited to see it...AND it did not disappoint.  This door lite inspired by ancestral roots it a beauty.  German New Antique background, some of the blue ovals were kiln fired to curve them, and German Cathedral....Absolutely love this door lite.  Nothing like  "art" featured where you see it the most.... here is the site picture from this morning!

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!

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

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..

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!

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!

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...
