This is the first of 4 new windows for the Willowdale Zion Presbyterian Church at the Sunnybrook Farm Museum in Red Deer Alberta. All of these windows measure some 26 inches wide by 57 inches high, cathedral shaped. This design was prompted by the donor of the window and through consultations with ourselves and Martha Hanson of Paned Expressions Studios in Edgewood Maryland, the pattern was created.
This window consisted of 182 pieces of stained glass, constructed with the copper foil method ( we use 7/32 Black Backed foil, with all lines hand soldered. We clean with Kwik Clean – use Novacan Black Patina – and polish with Kem-Pro Clarity polish.
It took us several weeks to compete and deliver for installation.
The following photo shows our work in progress on building this window.
