Here is something a little more local, featuring a 3/8” carved glass in a stained glass panel. I really love the tree green against the water blue. The eagle is pretty awesome too!

Well, it has been an interesting winter/spring. We have been getting jobs from Regina, Montreal and Calgary, as well as Vancouver of course. Here is signage for a Calgary firm, above their counter. These 2 flat 1/2” glass panels are mounted using custom made standoffs on a curved wall, which was a real challenge!

Newport is a sidelite panel designed along the lines of Monterey, featuring bevelled glass, (bevelled glass always adds class!), but is a more subtle, elegant design.

Monterey our newest design! (See http://relkieartglass.tumblr.com/ for photos)We are often called upon to use privacy glass for doors to bathrooms etc…, so I needed a panel for my own bathroom. The glass chosen for the door offers complete privacy and a very striking design. The panel features kiln fired red glass, and 3-d waterfall glass (glass stack on edge), also fired in our kiln.
