Leaded Glass Interior Doorlites for King City Project... This week in studio...

This week is all about interior leaded doorlites.. for the study, the secondary kitchen and also the wine cellar. We are working in King City on this great project. It also includes a  new window in the Cabana that pulls the cut granite pattern from around the pool into this window design... It will be amazing with all different clears with texture to keep the privacy level high while adding depth and dimension to the panel.


Today our  bevels from the UK arrived...to my dismay some of the profiles are slightly different from my old stock....  One doorlite of a pair was already built when my stock ran out...so I had to perform surgery this moring -removing the central bevel detail on this first doorlite and then reassembling...  As crazy as this may seem.. so much fun...and a challenge. Loved it.

Here are pictures of the development of these doorlites...what you do not see is the operation that was later completed successfully.

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.

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!

These windows were a challenge from a design point of view... but we admit sometimes it the most simple and elegant designs that take the most time...  but totally worth it...These windows are stunning!

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!

                                                    Above is the initial artwork detail.

                                                       Love what we do!!!

OK... Today was a great day!  Today I return to one of our sites to see one of our 2013 projects installed..  Well I must say they are beautiful.  They look as if they have always been there.  Timeless and Elegant!  The design element that we focused on was a plaster detail in the entrance.    Please let us know what you think.. We think they are beautiful!

This project is stunning.  Now complete but not photographed yet. Truly one of our projects whose function is the key reason for this panel's inception.  Sunlight....although we love it..it can be blinding ....

Here is the artwork...final pics to come!

Relaxing privacy panel...leaded glass, kiln fired bubbles, and some artistic flare!.. Glassworks Studio..Toronto.

This week we have been watching a few more projects finish up... Some amazing door lites with great clarity and bevels that blow your mind. (just because they are triple bevelled on both sides..)  A trillium panel for a great client we have worked for previously and some great privacy panels.  

And this panel... a beautiful water inspired privacy panel.. Focusing on the clients'  vision.... water, organic, fluid, free form...to name a few details... full privacy required! 

So we came up with some designs and off we went...  Amanda fired the kiln a few times to create the "bubbles," using the glass that the leaded panel was created from...  NICE!  Every part of this panel flows beautifully and is created with the same glass ..cold worked and kiln fired.  SO COOL..  and custom bevels..  It is amazing how an already beautiful sheet glass seems to become "more so" once fired.. the colors are intensified and glossy!
