Sadly, I smashed this piece on the floor hours after I finished it. I took pictures of the broken project and fixed them with PhotoShop...

Aw well, lesson learned!

New Menu on Art of Stained Glass

I've changed the menu bar on ART OF STAINED GLASS. The old menu bar was not efficient enough to accumulate a growing website. Now there is plenty of room to add more content!

How to frame your panel in zinc came

New content on my instructional website, Art Of Stained Glass! If you are a hobbyist wishing for a professional look for your panels but do not want to invest in fancy equipment, check out the two pages of instructions: Zinc Framing, page 1 and Zinc Framing, page 2.

I had some scraps of waterglass that I never used, as well as a piece of practice glass painting from the 'Trace and Texture' class I took with the amazing Deborah Coombs in 2008. I quickly assembled the very simple project below. All the stars lined up for me to prepare the zinc framing tutorial!

Louis C. Tiffany (1848-1933) is famous for the original and spectacular effects of colour and light that he achieved in his blown vases, stained glass windows and lamps. A Canadian first, this exhibition focuses on Tiffany's outstanding contribution to design and the technology of glass.
