THE DANCERS
This wonderfully animated abstract was created for display at The Glass Studio's Britain Street studio as an example of our kiln-fired, painted glass. The line-work and shading details were accomplished using traditional glass paints, applied both by brush, sponge and rag, then permanently fused into the glass by firing. Mouth-blown and machine-made cathedral glass is used for texture and colour. Framed in gray-painted steel angle. The frame OD is 42-1/2" wide x 28" high. The stained glass panel without the steel frame measures 42-3/16" wide x 27-3/4" high. Price $2,995.00

RED FLASHED BIRDS
'Flashed' glass is a centuries-old type of two-layer, mouth-blown glass which was very popular in the late 1800's because it's perfect for subtle etching and artwork. The Glass Studio made extensive use of flashed glass for its custom windows to work authentically in the Victorian style. This charming transom window is a perfect example, with a hand-made, 'birds & branches' centre etched into a circle of Lamberts red-on-clear flashed glass. It also has four mouth-blown rondels, distinctive cast jewels and vibrant opal colours. Ripple and English 'muffle' glass are used for the borders and backgrounds. Signed "The Glass Studio 2018". Unframed. Size 46-3/4" wide x 12-3/8" high. Price $2,975.00
