Four large (40"
x96") windows in the Chapel at Beth Israel Medical Center use mouth-blown
antique glass and hand-cast opalescent glass to buffer the Chapel from the
exterior courtyard, while still providing glimpses of the life and light
outside.
Our studio created
and installed the entire hardwood framing system as well, another vast
improvement to the ambience of the room.
The windows were
designed in harmony with the contemporary style of the room. The design is a
celebration of light and glass, using a variety of high quality glass to bend
and alter the light in fascinating ways. The collages exhibit a subtle change
in color from panel to panel, drawing from the change of seasons. If you like
this picture, you should see the real thing! The glass is truly
gorgeous.

Close-up of the
above backlit panel. This panel uses Tiffany Studio’s innovation of
assembling individual pieces with copper foil and tin-lead solder.
American opalescent
glass is perfect for these applications, since it has a chemical compound in
the glass that aids in evenly distributing light.

Four double casement
windows with custom bevels and mouth-blown crackle antique glass around the
perimeter were created for the Priest's Chapel at the new Morris Hall Chapel,
which can be seen under Restoration Work.

An interesting
commission, these two windows were created for the clock tower of the First
Presbyterian Church of Cranford, NJ. Unlike most leaded glass, these windows
aren't seen from the inside, but rather from a distance (being over 50 feet
high) on the outside, in both reflected light (during daylight hours) and
transmitted artificial light during evening hours. Special flashed glasses were
used to enhance daylight viewing. At the same time, two original geometrical
windows were restored, one of which had been at the Cranford Historical Society
since the windows had been replaced with speakers for the chimes.
A number of
restoration projects for the church can be seen under Restoration Work.

Two windows were
designed and installed in custom light boxes to bring beauty to the pulpit for
the Linden Reformed Church of Linden, NJ. The pre-existing windows on the sides
of the church are naturally lit.

hesitation in recommending him to the attention of all those especially
interested in fine craftsmanship and yet relying on a rather limited
budget."

The living room of
the nunn’s residence was transformed into a chapel. Although the windows
are not totally original work, we present them here as an example of an
adaptation of old windows re-designed for a new site. The windows were resized
both horizontally and vertically, with custom painted and fired glass
added.
