Upcoming Art Shows

I have a couple of shows/events coming up in the next few months that I want to inform you of and hope that you can attend.

The first is First Friday in Vancouver Washington on Friday August 3 at Windermere Real Estate at 210 E 13th St, Suite 100 Vancouver, WA 98660. I will give the hours when the date gets closer.

The second is the Clark County Studio Tours the first weekend of Nov 3-4.  This event showcases 50 artists who open up their studio for the weekend. 

At both events I will be showing and have original oil paintings and stained glass for sale as well as photos of stained glass that has been installed in various client's homes.  

Please reserve these dates, I would enjoy seeing you.

Glass Repair for Kitchen Cabinet

I received a call about a broken piece of glass in a kitchen cabinet and it was such that I could do the repair.  I don't talk about repair much so I thought I would share this.  I may post other repair work in the future. A corner piece was cracked so I took out the broken pieces as shown in the upper right of the top picture.  The panel was pieced together using copper foil and soldered together.  I had to remove the copper foil of the good sections of glass that joins the replacement glass and re-foil them.  I foiled the new piece and then soldered both front and back.  After completing the repair I remounted it into the cabinet frame.

In the Studio- beveling glass

I had to take a studio picture to submit when I applied for the Clark County Open Studios Tour and thought I would show it here.

This is where I bevel the inside curves of different glass shapes.  I use a flat wheel located in a different area for beveling straight edge and outside curves.
