About Anne anson Expertise I can answer most querys about leading,cutting,and foiling. I have a small amount of painting experience, I can help with fusing questions, slumping, and draping, mold prep,design, repair of windows and lamps, I can`t help with glass casting or blowing, frame making.
Experience Ihave had a stained glass custom design shop for twentyfive years in this area. I have made lots of windows and lamps, some for churches, many for homes, signs, etc. I have repaired lamps, and windows of all sizes, and have a good reputation in Kalamazoo, where my studio is. My studio is very busy now, as I believe all stained glass studios are, with repair, and new work.
Awards and Honors I have received two awards. One in Kalamazoo from the Diocese of Kalamazoo for Windows I have made in Catholic and other churches, the other from Modern Liturgy Magazine for one of the windows we made for St. Ann Church in Augusta, Michigan
It,s fairly easy to do this. In a dish or container you place a small amount of water that covers your object. Then with a high speed drill, dremel was one mentioned, you begin to create a hole by laying the bit slightly sideways on the spot to be drilled, and begin your hole. When you have a small groove created, lift the drill upright and finish the hole. A little practice and you will be very good at this.
