Today we were at St Mike's Hospital in Toronto installing some BEAUTIFUL GLASS!!

www.glassworksstudio.caToday we spent the afternoon at SMH in Toronto..it was a great afternoon...installing some beautiful privacy panels.  Dominant glass used in regards to color pigment was English Muffle Cobalt Blue and PW CC in cobalt blue...and although these were privacy panels we used quite a bit of GNA and Restover at the top section of the panels...so that the Toronto sky shines through.  These panels are "Mondrian" in style and inspired by the love of cobalt blue and watercolors..... as clearly represented with the Kokomo Green, Blue in Clear Ripple.

Love these pieces and I hope that you love them too...Relaxing ...Heart Racing....Cool ..ALL AT ONCE!

Contemporary Stained Glass by Glassworks Studio.

I love all glass....Traditional Leaded, Foiled, Hot Glass, ALL GLASS...

Working on a site in Ottawa...here is the layout for a contemporary interior door lite.  This house looks amazing...... the conceptual rendering from the architect has a definite WOW factor..It did it  for me...

Here is my concept sketch for the doorlite..of course there is a touch of my favorite color "RED"

Little bird in the kiln....

Here is a quick shot of what is baking tonight...Cannot wait to see the layering of colors....At this point everything is an experiment for me....a documented experiment...I feel like a "mad scientist"  :D

Beveled Glass Kitchen Inserts....These are really nice!!!

Here are the custom beveled cabinet inserts that I polished today..they are still not complete as I have to solder little medallions at the intersections.....but so far so good...  No details were overlooked here...every piece of glass is custom beveled...even those tiny corner pieces.....And they look "WOW"

Makes it all worth the while.

Ok this is my last post tonight.....Have an awesome weekend...Tomorrow I am off to Ajax to look at a very near project!  EXciting!!!
