| I
began doing stained glass in 1988. My studio is small and the overhead is
also small. I am, therefore, able to offer you quality work at very competitive
prices. |

The
technique used is the Tiffany method. This method requires that each piece
of glass be wrapped with a copper foil folded over the edges. The foil has
glue on one side. The pieces are then soldered to make the channel. This
is different from the came method. This is a prefabricated lead channel
extruded in the form of an "H". The glass is then placed in the
channel and soldered at the joints. |

The
Tiffany method lends itself to finer work and results in a much stronger
construction. The artist uses painting and fusing techniques not usually
found in most stained glass work. Painting is done with a brush or sieve.
The glass is then fired in a kiln at 1350 degrees F. Fusing is placing two
different colours of glass, one on top of the other and placing them in
the kiln until they melt together |
