Leaded Glass Windows Toronto...and some flower power..... Glassworks Studio

Here is a project that we have been working on this week and last...as a refresher...which means we are working on multiple projects and go back to this one... just because..   It is fun, whimsical, and definitely different.  I don't think I have ever seen a glass panel quite like it....  Our reference on this particular project.... a small purse...  Moroccan inspired..

First 2014 Project on the tables and she is large...

Ok..although we are still working on quite a few projects that need to be wrapped up before Christmas this year ...we are very excited about this project due in the first week of January 2014..  Total window space is over 72" wide and 96" tall, but split into 6 compartments...  High obscurity with a lot of bling...just my style...  Love it.  Here is the initial concept sketch.. and although there will be plenty of changes I know she is going to be amazing.

Privacy Leaded Glass Inserts by "Glassworks Studio," Mississauga.

Here is a site picture of another great project we have completed. These window are located in our client's master bath..  first concern was to significantly increase the privacy in this room and of course we also wanted complete this window treatment beautifully.. 

 End product is a stunning bank of windows with complete privacy -tub positioned directly in front of windows-  with complete natural light transmission..  Glass is the only possible way to achieve all three of these concerns flawlessly.

Leaded Glass Toronto, The creation of a skylight..

ok...today I was asked where does the process all begin....  At first I shot back a quick answer... "In my brain..  "... and then I started to laugh..  Well it all depends on the project and where the inspiration starts.....  the project that is currently under development is a large skylight space.. The rough opening that we are talking about is 140". Having amazing trades is so important.. From fine home builder, designer, gc, and trades.. We look at some details being incorporated into the project.. discuss the possibilities.  That is where it all starts...  SO EXCITING IS THIS BUILD PROCESS!   Here is the initial concept for this beautiful project as it starts...  might not look like much now...but OMG she will be beautiful!

We created a huge mess this week in the studio and a few beautiful windows also..

By the end of this week the studio needed a thorough clean up.  Friday I washed the walls, the floors, vacuumed the cutting tables...put boxes of bevels away.. ordered more stock... Oh I also painted giant chalk boards on the wall of my office..to try to improve the organization and flow.  I have to say it was an awesome week again although pretty exhausting.  Here are a few pictures.. including a dirty look at our bevelling station...
