Paned Expressions Studios:
stained glass
We are
glass artists specializing in the design, and fabrication of stained,
etched & carved
glass for home and office applications. All our works are
one of a kind creations and are signed by the artists. The richness and beauty
of ever changing light streaming through the texture and color of
stained glass
make it a wonderfully satisfying medium in which to work and create. The
challenge we set for ourselves with every window is to capture the essence of
our subject without allowing the image or idea to be compromised by technical
difficulties inherent to
stained glass such as extra lines to accomodate ease of
cut, etc. We think of our methods as a little like painting. While we work, we
have a large variety of
glass spread out around us on the light tables, like a
palette, and by choosing each piece carefully and using multiple layers, we can
get subtle variations of shade and hue. To achieve a particular effect in the
glass, each glass sheet is carefully chosen and at ! times only a small portion
of a full sheet is actually used in the piece. We know that
stained glass is not
just considered a
craft but should be viewed as
fine art.
