Leaded Glass Panels sealed in thermal units for front entrance in Oakville, Glassworks Studio

Here are the sidelites for the CRM inspired door lite that we posted last week.... These beauties sparkle....  Glass is Wissmach light Amber Cathedral interior border with Clear Cathedral in the outer border and interior...  and of course a band of bevels for some bling...

These are being installed next week by Statements which is based in Oakville and Markham.

Beautiful Entrance to any home!

Glassworks Studio...

Here is the CRM inspired entrance that we finished up last week...Doorlite with two sidelites.. VERY NICE...  this picture is not the greatest but the detail in these slim sidelites is shown. 

Please keep in mind that they are laying on the studio floor for this picture.  Better pics soon.

THE PROCESS... site visit to discuss project...design & function...then initial concepts are presented .. once design is finalized it goes full scale... glass is decided... we build...installation is coordinated..  

Very easy... and exciting..

Oakville Homes Ad 2013

 

Here is a pic of the ad that will be Oakville Homes Magazine this fall...  This oval that we designed and custom bevelled for this Mississauga Client is a dominant feature in many of the panels that we completed for this project. "Timeless Elegance," is what draws me back to these panels so often...  Glass that surrounds the bevels are my favorites.. GNA and German Cathedral.

A few posts ago I showed off our initial artwork for this panel...Now complete and ready for install...but first we have one more panel to do for these amazing clients..  I feel like I talk about our great clients a lot... I am continually amazed by the people we meet...and how almost every project is sparked by that initial conversation and what I leave that meeting with...

Well the initial artwork is complete and we are very excited to build this panel..like all of our panels...  This once will be bold....Fresh Spring Green for the leaves... soft white Bullseye for the the flowers, German Cathedral for the the background to create privacy, bevels & and more bevels...  and Opaque High Gloss Black Ripple glass for the inset border...  WOWZER!  (is that even a word??...)  This one is definitely another beauty..  

We love our clients...especially repeats... I believe my first project in this home was almost ten years ago... we are now working on her new leaded glass entryway...  and then a few privacy panels for inside...  

Here is the initial concept presented, approved and now the build.. Awesome!

This morning we finished up the leaded glass doors we were working on..  These doors originally had acid etched panels in them. We removed them from site...removed the glass and design and built these beautiful panels.  What a great transformation... Love them.. GNA and bevels...and totally unique.  Here are pics of initial concept proposal and the final panels installed..

This summer is flying by....we had to leave early this week to relax after a couple of really busy weeks in studio...not to mention a trip out West for a client meeting and a awesome night at Fort Calgary...  Great music.. great friends... and great food..  Amanda did a great job running everything smoothly in the studio..

Sad Times for our industry...

Ok..this month of April has been an awakening for some in our industry and for others rumours of the last few years came to fruition...  Our last major wholesaler in Ontario filed for bankruptcy.  To me it is a sad event as truthfully this will affect us all.. even those of us who do the majority of our purchasing in the States. This is not the time to let a lack of professionalism take over.. the loss of this supplier results in the loss of one level of purchasing. It will affect all of us from the professional studio owner to the hobbyist who simply enjoy their GLASS TIME..

On a happier note...I think Spring is here.. construction is definitely in full swing and there are a lot of great things shaping up for the rest of 2013 at my studio.  And the new studio space is finally starting to take shape. The sprinklers were raised up to 30 feet on Friday so that we can raise the ceiling in the work space...I am thinking glass studio in the lower section with my fancy heavy wood trim casing around glass panels, windows and the door jambs...but industrial look above ..I think if will be cool.. :) I want to suspend some of the glass light fixtures we have been working on..  of course some ceiling panels...

Last week I enjoyed a great day out with  photographer Dean Carvey. We snapped some great shots of previous sites.. for Toronto Home Magazine.  ENJOY..... I AM!

Well here it is...I finally had a moment today to go and look at one of our sites that was actually finished up before Christmas....and I have been so excited to see it...AND it did not disappoint.  This door lite inspired by ancestral roots it a beauty.  German New Antique background, some of the blue ovals were kiln fired to curve them, and German Cathedral....Absolutely love this door lite.  Nothing like  "art" featured where you see it the most.... here is the site picture from this morning!
