Stained Glass Toronto

 

Stained Glass Projects by Glassworks Studio Toronto CANADA.

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...

 

Really cool convex artsy mirrors, and trying to stay ahead of the rush...

This week has had some of the most "manic days" that I can remember since moving into the new studio space on Northwest Drive.  Maybe this is because we are already preparing to move again...to a bigger space.....maybe it is the beautiful upcoming projects that we are SO excited about...

Well today Amanda rebuilt the disaster that resulted after our beautiful leaded inserts were enroute to Montreal....FIXED Yeah!  She also started (what will probably be a portfolio of pictures of what we do...everyday..the traditional tools we use...the beautiful glass panels we build...AND the glass we even break..(Secret is we LOVE to break and smash ...love the sound..."yes..we know we have a problem..."

She also finished up the doves on the 50 fused pieces...While I circled the GTA seeing clients and suppliers...

Today started the silver process on some cast convex glass pieces that will soon be mirrors....resembling blown glass but produced in the kiln... These will be a triptych grouping of mirrors for our client in Oakville. Pics to follow in the next few weeks...Always something new..

Here is Amanda's first "artsy" studio shot....

 

Its been a long time...here is what I have been up to at the studio ...

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 weekend at the studio..a little cold glass work and some hot glass too...

This weekend was busy...well I feel like I live at the studio lately...  Saturday morning started really early...my friend Frances dropped in and I introduced her to the kiln...she made herself a little tile...not bad for a newbee ...  I continued working on the Ottawa project..finished a few door inserts and started the layout for the final transom panels...

Today my mom came out to help...being a "glasser" also..she completed some overlay kitchen cabinet panels for me...she was a great help and nice company...  At home my dad was making our supper...I love it when my parents are in town...  :)

Her are some shots of the work completed this weekend...Have a great week!

getting a "work out" at the studio...

OK...this week has been exhausting...and it is only Wednesday night...The cycle is for weeks I plan, have meetings with clients, and complete drawings and layouts.....THEN...I have to complete the projects.  So this week I have been trying to finish pre-Christmas projects... This week I have been leading cabinet inserts for a major player in the kitchen market...."cementing."  OK anyone who has cemented a project realizes the physical work that this is...polishing..brushing..polishing...  My arms are aching...but they are complete and they look beautiful...that old world pewter on the metal work that only polishing brings out...Beautiful!  

Tomorrow it all starts again with a meeting first thing with clients for the next project...6 door lites ..and then I need to start the layout for the Ottawa project... "Bejeweled transoms...AWESOME!" 

So besides being a little tired...its all pretty good!
..... I need to thank Andrea for all her help in the studio!
