🛠️ Project of the Week 🛠️

This newly completed Victorian-style stained glass window was created for a client building a new home in St. Paul. Measuring 21.75” x 21.75”, the piece features a geometric floral design inspired by late 19th-century decorative windows, with layered symmetry and rich color creating a distinctly historic character.

One of the most interesting parts of this project was the context it was designed for. Although the home itself is new construction, the client has thoughtfully incorporated built-in architectural details and traditional materials throughout the design in order to create the feeling of an older historic residence. The stained glass window became part of that larger vision as an architectural feature intended to give the home a greater sense of warmth and craftsmanship. The finished window will be installed as an interior feature between the mud-room and stairwell, where it will catch and filter light between spaces throughout the day.

🛠️REPAIR OF THE WEEK🛠️

This striking 24” Tiffany replica dragonfly Lampshade came to us from a client who had recently purchased the piece at auction. The shade had sustained some damage including a number of broken pieces and some warping to a few of the dragonfly motifs. Our team of experts were able to fuse-repair nearly all of the broken panels with only one needing full replacement. The shade is now fully restored to its former beauty and ready to settle into its new home.

🪴Class of the Week 🪴

Discover the joy of working with vibrant Italian soft glass as you learn to gather, shape, and decorate molten glass beads. 

Glass beadmaking in Italy is a thousand-year-old tradition. Originally developed as currency for foreign trade, these beads became a staple of European, African and Early American personal ornamentation. In this beginner-friendly 4-week torchwork class, you’ll explore the essential techniques for creating beautiful, handcrafted beads. The course begins with the basics of gathering and applying glass to a mandrel and moves quickly into decorative techniques where students will be taught dot patterning, creating stringers, encasements and finally basic sculptural construction.
