Collaborative Studio Designs $325/sq.ft.

These panels are a good example of working with the customers design preferences. All of these designs were proposed by the customer by sketch. It is a great feeling to be able to use my skills to help a client realize there vision. I have had the pleasure to work with some of the nicest people on the planet, and I mean that. This process of collaboration is always fun and the end result can only be better for the customers input. Stained glass is a very personal expression in a home, and I try to take a design and make it as beautiful as I can, and by carefully working with the client and emailing photos of layouts and changes as they occur we can work through the rough spots, and I can help my client visualize the end product before committing to colour and motif.






Multi coloured multi piece panels $265/sq foot



These panels are multi-coloured multi pieces panels.
All of these were commissioned work. And all were collaborative pieces with the customer. From choosing textures, to border layout to designing a new window or depicting a clients logo, these pieces reflect the customers sense of colour and design. $265/sq ft.

Hello Scott,
Welcome to the new new new Taqwa Glassworks Photo Gallery. I hope you find this helpful, and please feel free to ask questions here and I will get back to you. Enjoy.
Warm Regards, Christie
These are just a few elements that can be used in the 12" center circle. By scrolling down (images will be coming) there are quite a few elements that come from traditional glass panels that I make that can be used in this center.
This is a simple beveled element that I created for a dramatic center element along with hand made dichroic leaves and bent wire.


This is the Blue Bellflower and Dragonfly center piece.

This is the rich amber bellflower with bent wire and purple, blue and green globs.

A Million Colours of Love: Necklaces by Paul Mast

For Valentine's Day this year, I would like to introduce these beautiful handmade necklaces (and wrist wraps) carefully created by Paul Mast. These necklaces are so beautiful, incorporating semi-precious stones with Pauls' painterly eye for colour and colour connections. Paul made me one of these about a year ago and I wear it all the time (I never take it off actually and wear it to bed (it is that comfortable). It goes with everything. I also wear it as a wrist wrap, and when I need a shorter necklace around my neck I tie a knot or multiple knots in it. The most amazing thing happens when I wear it: I get compliments from everyone. What a beautiful necklace, where did you get it? I started to really bug Paul about making them, and he finally relented (under threat of me giving people his home phone number) and he made me a limited edition of 7. I will post them singly post haste...I call them A Million Colours of Love, for after all, aren't there a million little ways we love someone? These beautiful necklaces reflect this perfectly.
