restore old stained glass panels . Be it just a broken pane or an in-depth restoration our staff can accomplish it and return the project to its’ full
potential . It is our desire to meet the needs of our community

have a great eye for color and detail and they have a lot to offer
the art of stained glass.We encourage them to take a few classes and learn the basic
skills required to accomplish a project of their
own . As a result we have had the pleasure of having clients become students and watching them use their own skills to
interpret their inner creativity . In doing so, many of our students
realize working with stain glass as outlet for relieving stress . So
whatever the reason we are pleased to have the opportunity to share with them our art.

Stained glass, as an art form,
reached its height in the Middle Ages when it became a major
pictorial form and was used to illustrate the narratives of
the Bible to a largely illiterate populace. |

Wire
Wrapping |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is one of the oldest
techniques for making jewelry by hand. In wire wrapping,
jewelry is made using jewelry wire and findings similar to
wire (like head-pins) to make components. Wire components
are then connected to one another using mechanical
techniques with no soldering or heating of the wire.
Frequently, in this approach, a wire is bent into a loop or
other decorative shape and then the wire is wrapped around
itself to finish the wire component making that loop or
decorative shape permanent. |

The original
stained glass was primarily used for those whose homes were
very upscale. The church, the nobility and wealthy merchants
were in fact the only ones who could afford the stained
glass in the days when it became most popular.
Today’s
stained glass has undergone changes in both the styles, the
images it portrays as well as a cost reduction permitting
those who are neither wealthy nor noble to be able to boast
a stained glass window of their own.
The most popular glass windows now are scenes of not just
the nativity, or Biblical scenes, but also scenes from
nature or flowers and birds, which sporting people enjoy
having in a den or living room.
The cost is affordable for nearly anyone, and the styles
are so diverse that there is something to please anyone who
is looking.
Stained glass is also durable, as easy to install as a
regular window and while helping the home owner to maintain
their privacy, is still transparent enough to permit the
light to enter the home.
Some of the
more modern pieces in production now, feature designs
that can be used with nearly any type of decor from
Victorian to country style.
