Biography Leonard Wilson, the designer has been performing the art of stained glass for over 25 years. Carolyn and Leonard as a team, specialize in fused glass art pieces, exquisite beveled hangings, and unique glass boxes. Window Hanging and Glass Box Process The hangings and boxes have been designed, hand cut, and assembled using the Tiffany tradition of foiling. This technique enhances the delicacy of the design, while lending greater structural strength than the conventional method of stained glass using channeled lead. The pieces are soldered together. Copper patina can be applied or the piece can be left silver. |

The engravings included in the design of some of the boxes are cut by hand on bevels, using a stone wheel. Each design is original and is not commercially produced, while other box tops are designed with bevels and dichroic glass. Some box tops are also designed using fused glass. Some of our beveled hangings are accented with decorative soldering and dichroic glass. Fused Glass Process Working with the process of fusing glass we have been able to design unique art pieces. We are known for designing fused glass using opaque backgrounds with clear colors inserted into openings which are cut into the glass. There are no visible cut marks in the finished piece. |
