DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

Business founded in 1965 and dedicated to the manufacture and restoration of leaded stained glass windows: geometrical, art nouveau and classical ones.

The process is completely artisanal. Once they are commissioned a certain job, they carry out a real-size scale drawing of the stained glass window.… Then, they carry out the cutting of the different glass pieces which will shape the final piece and finally the processes of decoration – painting each piece by hand with grisailles – and firing in the electrical oven take place. Once the pieces are fired, the leading up of the stained glass windows starts, which are then welded with tin, cleaned, and finally caulked on both sides.

The tools which are used for the assembly of the pieces include: pliers, hammers, scrapers, tin, caulk, lead and glass.
