Color In The Corner

A bit of useful decoration on the grinder table.
The new shop is up and running with a back log 
of repair work and many new projects.

More information on classes will be coming soon.
The first class is already sold out with a waiting list.

In The Racks

I have been  working in the new shop since Monday.
It is such a pleasure to have this much space: about 300 square feet.
The last place was 80 square feet and almost unworkable for any project over 20" x24"..
I looked over yesterday at the sun coming in on all the glass in the racks and saw this...thought I would share it with you.
Just look at that...one of the reasons that I love stained glass.

Window Art

Just a quick post showing some slag glass that I keep in the studio window.
I  have so much work to catch up on...
Being shut down for 6 months is a real bummer.
OK, back to work..

New Glass Shop

At last....All ready to go !!
When you are moving, every thing takes longer and costs more then you had planned for....it is just a rule.
But it is now finished: glass block windows, air conditioning & heating, new electric installed, and insulation is in place.
Much larger than the last space it will allow for more complex and larger projects....and there is space for classes!

I will post more on the glass classes later but the
space was laid out with classes in mind.
So, I will be teaching...

New Shop Space

Everything unloaded in the new shop.
Stacked in the center for now as there is still so much to be done.
The walls, ceiling, and floor need painting...
The glass block windows need to be installed.
One of the block windows will have an air conditioner.
Light panels need  to be wired.
Oh yes, the new electric work needs to be done.
Then and only then can I begin to arrange this space.
Off to a great start, don't you think??

Hanging Around

WOW!   Have things ever been busy around here.
So many places to be, panels to make, orders to
deliver, and designs to draw up. 
Panels for weddings, panels for anniversary, panels for fun, and just to fill window space with color and great prism effects.

It has  been a very busy June. 
Now the rush has slowed down a bit and 
I can get back to this blog.
The photo shows some of the panels about to go out for delivery.
Now, they are all gone and the new owners are able to enjoy them.

Shop Photo

My really well-organized workstation.........LOL.
When working in a too small space everything tends to get cluttered.
My work area is spread out over several parts of the former photo
studio.  I am looking forward to the time when it can be all together and better organized.
But this works for now.

Here you can see my latest project on the work board.
I will show you a close-up photo and write more about this panel later.
