Art Glass and Mirror
Perhaps the most versatile materials on the planet, glass is also one of the most beautiful and captures our collective imagination with its brilliance, playfulness and light transmitting qualities. In the 1920's Louis Tiffany revolutionised the world of stained glass manufacturing by introducing new techniques for colouring, finishing and cutting glass to create his famed "Tiffany" masterpieces. Since then American glass companies have been the leaders in producing stained glass for the art world. Spectrum is the market leader in the US because they combine quality and selection with affordability. We carry a wide range of their glass that we have divided into 3 levels of transparency plus one category for glass that is iridised. Within each of these there are several colours that belong to the System 96 sub group for fusing. Silvercoats by Spectrum is a line of silvered mirror made from waterglass and can be used outside. Moretti glass is made by Effetre, this glass is COE104 and is compatible with the Effetre Millefiori we carry. A beautiful soft glass from Murano, mouthblown and made from centuries old recipes. The collection known as Van Gogh Glass ( after the whorls and whirls on its undercoat) is made from float glass sprayed with automotive paint and is both frost and UVA resistant.
