100+ Year Old Came Window Restoration 2022

This came restoration was completed in mid 2022. This window measured 36 inches wide by 16 inches high and we believe it to be well over a 100 years old based on information from our client.

There was only 1 piece of glass that was cracked and we were able to get it glued together with a special stained glass glue, with the help of our friends at Rubaiyat Stained Glass Studios in Calgary.

This window now hangs proudly in our clients home in Central Alberta.

The following picture shows the window in its original wooden frame which was weathered and worn beyond repair. We took many photos of the window, numbering each piece and the after careful cleaning of each piece of glass we put it all back together with new lead came, cement, patina and polishing.

The next picture shows the window all ready for the came joints to be soldered.

Christmas Tree Ornaments 2022

We have a client who obtains from us 4 Christmas Tree Ornaments each year, that she gives away as family gifts. This year she brought us a rough sketch of her own design, featuring a lady in a coat. As well, she gives us her color ideas and we go from there. Once again she was thrilled with what we created for her. These Christmas Tree Ornaments measured approximately 3 inches wide by 3.5 inches high.

This Blue Bell circle was another gift we made this past fall. The circle measures approximately  7 inches in diameter and this circle has open spaces in it and the circular glass was OGT’s Crackle. A brass edging completed the piece with fine silver chain attached for hanging.

Information Update re: Old Came Window Restoration 2022

Our client has now installed the restored window into a very old building that she has turned into a wonderful workshop and studio. The location is NE of Halkirk, Alberta and her company’s name is Woolgathering.

Congratulations to Carmen, who persevered to take an old run down building and turn it into a very warm and welcoming studio for her business.

Here are 3 pictures, one of the building as was, then the redone interior along with the restored came window now installed back into the 1910 building.
