Verrier: August 2015
http://verrier-glass.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
A Glasgow studio working in stained glass, kiln formed glass, acid etching, and sandblasting. Friday, 28 August 2015. I have been asked to provide two dozen diffusing light covers for an auditorium. I've finally got the mould sorted. It came out of the kiln firm, but it needed sanding to final shaping and to smooth the surface. The tests have been made for the diameter of the discs and the temperature required for an appropriate slump. Slumped glass in Glasgow. Thursday, 27 August 2015. A client has rece...

A Glasgow studio working in stained glass, kiln formed glass, acid etching, and sandblasting. Friday, 27 June 2014. Historic West Coast House Repairs. Last year I conducted repairs on the windows of an Alexander (Greek) Thomson designed house, and for the last six months or so, I have been involved in repairs and other work on a Lutyens designed house. The resulting finished window appears to be the same as the original. The repairs are not distinguishable except by close examination. The house also has ...

A Glasgow studio working in stained glass, kiln formed glass, acid etching, and sandblasting. Sunday, 16 November 2014. Vandalism on Historic Windows. I was called out to view and advise on the necessary repairs to an historic window recently. Right side light undamaged. As I approached the building, I finally knew where the image a photographer had given me years ago as he was cleaning out his files. He did not remember where the photo was taken other than in Glasgow. Lower section of the damage. Fortun...

Verrier: January 2015
http://verrier-glass.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A Glasgow studio working in stained glass, kiln formed glass, acid etching, and sandblasting. Sunday, 18 January 2015. From time to time glass workers help each other out. I send things to other people who are better at some aspect of work, or for which I don't have the time to complete in the timescale. Other people send me things which they need help with whether because of time pressures or because of equipment which I have and am willing for them to use. The cartoon ready for leading.

This was posted earlier this month on the Authors Electric blog site - but I think it's worth reblogging here since it might be of interest to readers as well as writers. Strange, musky, dusty .
