New Leaded Skylight Projects in February...Glassworks Studio.

Here is what is up next month...first up is a few leaded ceiling skylights...these are installed approximately 6' down from the exterior insulated skylight...  An amazing wood framework has been created by our trim carpenters.. the individual sections simply are dropped into place.  The wood detail that surrounds each section not only beautifully supports the leaded glass panels but also ties in seamlessly with the crown moulding and raised panel details that are also being installed...  Looking forward to seeing these being completed and final pictures being taken..  These are 2 skylights in this beautiful home being built in South Mississauga.

Leaded Glass Windows off to final destination..Glassworks Studio

Here are the final four windows off to their home....These windows 2 by 2 flank a central fireplace...Very Nice..   Privacy not a big issue because of the height they are located at and the outside landscape.  Beautiful.. elegant, and of course some bling...

Custom Design, Custom Build, High End Finish. Custom Leaded Privacy Panels for Oakville Project..

This project is a great way for us to continue our New Year... Working closely with the client and window manufacturer..we ended up focusing our design detail from custom plaster work being created on the ceiling about these 6 panels.  Completely different, very traditional and I think a little gothic..  End result ..."VERY COOL."  We are so excited to see these installed after they return from being sealed in thermal units. 

Our New Year is starting just the way I  like it!  A little crazy in studio..We will be starting full scale on a beautiful front door lite for a project in Mississauga.. two small skylite panels for this same project...with some "bling introduced with the addition of Czech Jewels..NICE."  

We at Glassworks Studio wish you all an amazing holiday break! And all the best in 2014! " I hope this year brings relaxation in what is ....the excitement of big changes and the acceptance of new ideas ...and a little crazy!" ENJOY!

Evolution of Design at the studio this week!! Change is good...

This week has been busy.  A lot of design going on in studio, a lot of building in the studio, new Client meetings and finalizing details on a few contracts...  Even a little dry wall repair...  Yes we are sure getting things done. I would like to call it the Christmas rush but I have to say this is all about the 2014 rush.  I know if is hard to believe I feel like 2014 is already here.  Here we go!

Here a  few pictures of what is finishing up, shipping out....  and what is coming up at Glassworks Studio. Enjoy.... we are. :)
