Working on a big piece

I’m entertaining the idea of making a few posts explaining

"How to make Stained Glass"

I think it will be very interesting for people to see how we do it

since we learn the old way  :)

meaning our teachers were very old craftsman’s, and had no love for

electric machines… at all!!!, so we practically don’t make use of them while making the pieces.

(Except for the welder of course)

Plus the artists we know have created their own way of working the craft 

and usually varies a little bit from one to another

Colorful Lamp

I found this in a Pinterst board and fell in-love with the designs and colors
I usually tried not to enhance the pictures of the glass work
to preserve the original layout,but i might try to put some Photoshop magic
on th next upload just to see how it turns out.

Surrealism, Cubism & Modernism

LAM

  

A while back we where asked to make Glass Art, of paintings made almost a century before by Surrealism Master Wilfredo Lam, 

...this are a few samples of those works.

Small Light Box

Pegasus

Portocarreros Muse

"Ancient Greece"

This was a very special commission for a very special event.

Its right now giving hes own tour around the world. 

None knows where it might ends. 

Traditional instruments were used for the cutting and assembling of the piece, (as always we tried to stayed as close to the traditional art-way used by the Ancient Masters of the Stained Glass artwork). 

but for the faces hands and arms, 

ovens were used to burn the pre-painted glass.

Este fue un encargo muy especial.

Se encuentra actualmente dandole la vuelta al mundo.

Nos preguntamos donde puede terminar quedandose.

Herramientas tradicionales fueron utilizadas para el corte,

 y ensamble de la pieza, (como siempre intentamos acercarnos

 lo mas posible a la manera tradicional de trabajo utilizada 

por los antiguos maestros del Vitral) pero para las manos, brazos, y caras,

 utilizamos Hornos; Donde quemamos las piezas previamente pintadas.
