A recently completed window project was a larger Wisteria window for a local client. The design of the window was loosely based on the Wisteria windows which graced the breakfast room of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s home in Long Island, New York. The original windows were part of a traveling exhibition a few years ago, and…
As Irwin completes the soldering on the Renoir window (see posting from June 28, 2010), Bill has been starting a large “Oz” stained glass window. This window is based on the Oz Parade, shown on the left, a mural painted by John R. Neill in the 1930’s. John R. Neill was an illustrator who is…
