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!

Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Willow Tea Room

As promised earlier, I will be creating a series of architectural door insets. Below is one inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh's in the Willow Tea Room. The original doors are in an irregular shape, I have altered them to fit in standard dimensions and proportions of 22" x 64".

LC Tiffany Exhibit, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

February 11 to May 2, 2010

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.

Definitely worth the drive!

Honoring Lucienne Day

Lucienne Day died January 30, 2010 - at the age of 93. She was a British designer whose seminal fabric designs in the fifties were inspired by modern art and were a decade ahead of their time! I believe her influence can still be felt. The fabric that inspired the piece below is called "Miscellany" and was produced by Celanese. The spotted glass is of my own manufacture.
