We Love Stained Glass!
David Gomm started building stained glass windows in 1983 and soon convinced Jeanne to join him in the art. They have become experts at many aspects of stained glass building, design and repair. Their website www.gsg-art.com has many tips and articles about stained glass, art in general and creativity.
This week or video subject was "5 Reasons You Should Do Or Own Stained Glass" and we took a trip to Downtown Provo Historic "Provo Town Square". We pointed out the two sky lights that they ordered from us (to the left is one of the two). and we walked over to the "Here" store where we teach seminars once a month and we display many pieces that are for sale. The five reasons you should have or own stained glass are pretty straight forward.
1. It's Inspiring. Stained
Glass is an art, and a craft and a hobby, but most of all it’s a compelling
hobby!
2. It's Beautiful. When
we finished our first piece of stained glass, we kept calling each other into
the living room. You’ve got to see this, it’s changed again!
3. It's Versatile. There are so many different uses for stained glass. We’ve
built table tops and kaleidoscopes. We’ve created picture frames and Jewelry.
The list of different projects goes on and on. We sell 11 videos on Amazon and
9 of them are instructions on how to build different types of projects.
4. It's Therapeutic. Some
students have called it therapy. You never have time to get tired of the tasks,
because once you start to tire, you’re on to the next step.
5. It's Valuable and Collectible. Stained glass has an intrinsic value. People recognize it as
valuable. We sold a house and they offered us more if we agreed to leave the
stained glass installed. Gifty sun catchers don’t last, but real windows become
something that will be passed down to future generations.
