Timeless and Elegant Leaded Glass Door lites installed in South Mississauga, Glassworks Studio Toronto.

Here is another example of how leaded glass (when designed and built site specific) can complete the "WOW" factor of any space.

This entry installed by Kolbe Window Gallery is complimented by the Custom Leaded Thermals installed by Glassworks Studio.  I enjoy working with many businesses and trades who pride themselves in absolute client satisfaction...I love being part of such an accomplished group and seeing the results of our work.



I love the clarity of the glass selected for this project and how the custom bevel work simply sparkles.  Timeless and Elegant!

NEW BUT ...Traditional Leaded Glass Windows installed in Toronto House.

I know that today is Saturday....however we are trying to finish up all of our little builds and installations before our "huge" Vaughan Project starts. A Saturday installation worked well for our client and us.  Here is an example of before and afters of what we do...

These leaded glass panles were installed from inside the home on the inner panel of the new thermal units...These windows were installed by Pella last month and today we installed the leaded glass panels on what we term side #4.  They are very traditional in design to go with the new front door that our client had installed also last month.

A little stained glass artwork at the studio today..

From little tiny concept drawing to full scale layout...We are definitely loving what we do lately...This feels like the calm before the craziness starts...  This project can be summerized by color, color, color....Just wait till you see the finished panel.  

 

Leaded Cabinet Inserts..

These inserts are based off a project that I completed a few years ago...Once a door lite transformed into two cabinet inserts...Wow..."yes...we can do magic at the studio..." LOL

Here these beauties are...

Charles Rennie Inspired Door lite..

Here is one of the projects that are coming up in the next few weeks. This design detail was approved by the Historic Board this week...so now the build begins..this one is going to be a lot of fun!

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..

This week at the studio we are finalizing a copperfoil project "Lotus," artwork for some ceiling lenses, a few doorlites and some kitchen inserts...
