Underwater Door Insert

We loved spending time on creating this underwater adventure for our client! It is art glass overlay, dual glazed, and installed in our clients door.

This art is on one solid piece of tempered glass, making strong and durable! We were able to create a gorgeous design that matched our clients wants perfectly. Inspired by creatures the client had in their own fish tank, we used stunning colors, textures, glass jewels, lead lines, and glass globs and eyes to create this dimensional piece. We all played a role in this amazing project. Oh, and I should mention - this is one of a set of two! Phew, a job well done to our designers and creators!

Underwater Art Glass - Work in progress!

Designing is a big part of the process of creating art glass. Once the design is created, a full size hand drawn pencil version is created. If any adjustments at scale are needed, they are done at this point and the pattern is attached to the glass. Then we start adding the lead lines to one side.

The images below show a detail of the pencil work and the start of the lead lines. There are several steps in the fabricating process and this is just the beginning. It is important to put the lead lines down in the most secure order, so they can seem oddly spaced at the start. But, once all the lead lines are one, we flip the pattern over and tape it to the now leaded side. This gives us our lines to fill in with the color and textures. Once that side is complete, a new layer of lead lines are added over the color. After that, the art piece is complete and on to be placed in it’s setting!
