We are currently working on two large shade projects for clients. The first is a 22″ Dogwood shade for which Bill Campbell did the glass selection. The shade will be lighter in tone with pink and white dogwood flowers.
After completing the layout, Bill has been foiling the pieces.
The large shade form is covered in our house made sticky beeswax. The foiled pieces will be held in place by the wax in preparation for soldering.
Once the cutting and fitting of the dogwood pieces was complete and Bill began the foiling, Irwin Terry moved on to begin the glass selection for our next project, an 18″ Grape. The 18″ Grape is a Wisteria-style lamp.
Starting with the lush grape leaves, Irwin is composing a shade that will have a saturated color palette. As Bill completes the foiling and transfer of the dogwood lamp pieces onto the form, Irwin will be finishing the layout of the grape and will move to soldering the 22″ shade.
