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!
My Artwork based on  Detail Below...




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

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.
