Work continues to progress on the 18″ Grape lamp. The shade is composed on the light table. Colors and textures are carefully considered and artfully blended to add depth to the shade.
The 18″ Grape shade has five repeated sections. After Irwin Terry completed the layout for the shade, we began to foil the pieces.
The shade begins at the top with a crown of openwork branches. We create the bronze castings using a mold that was taken off an original Tiffany Studios example.
Once the foiling was completed, Irwin began transferring the pieces onto the waxed lamp form in anticipation of soldering the shade. The crown of branches will be positioned in place on the top of the form.
