One question we often get asked is “what’s new and exciting in stained glass?”

While glass fusing has become very popular over the last 5 years; we are noticing that more and more people are interested in and doing “glass on glass” mosaic work.   What this involves is finding a window or picture frame (older frames tend to have more character and can be found in flea markets, “re-stores”, garage sales and sometimes even in your own basement or attic), re-finishing the frame if necessary or if desired, installing clear glass in the frame if it doesn’t already have some and then comes the fun part – using your imagination and a selection of stained glass to create a colourful design.  The glass is cut and or broken into various shapes and then glued to the glass in the frame.

The finished piece can be grouted or not; depending on your preference.  It is a great way to use up bits of stained glass so they don’t go to waste; and even a glass novice can create beautiful work!  Check out our class information for upcoming “Glass on Glass Mosaic Window” courses!
