Moving Again..new studio space!

Ok if you would like to come visit....We have not moved far...same building..larger space and way more natural light...

BUT oh so much work to reorganize...must admit I am a little stressed but I love it...
There is just something about a crazy and hectic life... Today Amanda and I rearranged the cutting tables (well we are still waiting for one to arrive..)..we sorted paper work..Amanda completed an order for a local cabinet maker.. we had another order picked up... and we visted with a friend (who brought us some refreshments.)  It was a good day...

Here is a pic of the new -not yet organized studio space! 
And please feel free to come for a visit.

Another Custom Leaded Transom...Glassworks Studio Toronto

This week was CRAZY...I thought I would be driving to Montreal to deliver panels for our New York Project this weekend...I know the wrong direction but that is where the Canadian Builder is located..you could say we had a little breakage in shipping Tuesday...Glass Breakage and Heart Break.  Amanda worked so hard on the "rush rebuild." I ran around with meetings and proposals for upcoming projects...picking up freshly "kilned" glass..all while negotiating Toronto traffic and crazy construction...

So I must thank Maritime Ontario Transport for their speedy pick up of my glass crate and immediate shipment to Montreal today...very impressive..and Thank you to everyone at ECO ...for helping us in our time of stress..

The week ended with a great feeling... I appreciate the great relationships  built with suppliers and clients...and when I needed some help it was there.

The last item of the day was the pick up of the Bolton Transom.  This was the first time out client had seen the finished product and she loved it....which just makes us love what we do even more.

Have a great Thanksgiving Weekend. Instead of Montreal I will be enjoying my father's Thanksgiving Feast...  :)

Look at the colors in this transom...Beautiful...next will be the sidelites..

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....

Leaded Glass Transom for Bolton Project

Color...lots of color....that besides amazing design just makes this project sparkle...oh AND we added some facetted jewels..

Anyway here is another example of what we love to do.. this project started off as landscape with ducks in flight..then transitioned into a landscape focusing on the waterfall that is on the property...

Then a complete 180 happened....this just shows that we do not always know what we are looking for ..but then it just evolves and becomes.....  WOW that was deep... All from a piece of glass..

I think I need some sleep....
Have a great night!

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!

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..
