Conference 7.286::home_work

    Whittemore-Durgin is a stained glass supplier/fabricator in Rockland,
    Massachusetts.  They have a workshop there with an outstanding
    craftsman who both repairs stained glass and does custom work. 
    We have had some stained glass repaired there and have had them
    do a custom-made Tiffany-style lamp for our dining room.  Fantastic
    workmanship and very reasonable prices.

    
    I know of a couple stained glass shops, but for the life of me, can't
    think of their names now.
               
    Ther's one in Westboro, in the Julio's shopping mall behind the
    Abdow's restaraunt, their main store is on Main St. in Framingham.
    
    There's also one in Groton on RT 119, this is/was a mom and pop
    operation that does very good work. They did some work for me that
    I was very pleased with, and I know they do a lot of repair work
    for churches.
    
    I'll try to post the name of the place in Westboro after lunch.
    
    BTW, where are you located???????

    There's a stained glass shop just up the street from the LUcky Garden
    restaurant in Cambridge (on Concord Ave, maybe???) that does nice
    stuff.  Probably $$$ though, and I don't know if they would do repairs.

    Re: 326.2
    
    I live in Newton and work in Marlboro.

There's a guy who works for DEC. His name is Bruce McCulley and I'm quite sure
that his wife still does stained glass work. Give him a call. I've seen her
work...very nice.

    
    Sorry for the delay in getting this info back, the place in Westboro
    is called Stained Glass lighting and Design. I don't know if they
    do repairs but the stuff they make is very nice.

    	I recently saw an add for a product called Stained Glass Overlay.
    I think I've seen something like this at a home show before and
    was very surprised at how good it looked. Because I don't particularly
    care for the cost and labor of replacing certain windows in my house
    with real stained glass, I'd like to look into SGO further. My 
    question is, has anyone seen SGO for sale anywhere? I can't find
    it anywhere. Thanks for any info.

    re: .-1
    
    I don't know where you can get SGO locally but if you go to the
    home shows it should be there. also don't be too shocked when you
    find out it costs nearly as much as real glass. 
    
    by the way I do stained glass as a part time business. For details
    call DTN 276-8009.

    
        I also do stained glass as a part time business. I wonder how
    many others do it on the side?

    I would like to make a stained glass/lead glass octogon window for
    my house.
    
    Does any one know of places that offer classes in these subjects,
    in the Nashua area.
    
    Thanks,
    
    David.
    

    Renaissance Glass in Nashua sells glass and does classes.  There
    is also a good class at the Manchester Institute of Arts and Science.
    
    

    As a recent graduate of the Manchester Institute glass class, I'd recommend
    it. 
    
    I hope your window is repaired by now. If not, there was a company
    at the home show that did antique repairs - glass, paintings, whatever
    - museum quality (they had letters from the Musuem of Fine Arts,
    ect. From instructors and books on glass, doing repairs is tedious
    and very involved. None recommended doing it, rather contract to
    a professional.

Gee,

Lot's of interest in stained glass it seems.  Anyone still following this
topic I wonder?

I too do stained glass (mostly as a hobby and sometimes on commission).  Is
there a conference somewhere specifically dedicated to crafts, hobbies?  I
know there is not a stained glass conference because I check periodically.

Is there anyone out there who does stained glass (repairs, restorations,
etc. out there and interested in talking about it, either in this topic or
somewhere else?

Anyone need a window?

    Hi, I do stained glass as a hobby, I've been doing it for 4 years
    and still have many things that I want to do for myself. I haven't
    done any work for commission althought I've thought about it.
    
    I get all my supplies at M&D Stained Glass in Littleton MA. I've heard
    from a few people that she is the cheapest shop around for custom
    work. She does restorations and repairs also. I'm always checking out 
    her work, she does a fabulous job.

    If you live in the area and need some custom stained glass done,
    check out her prices.
    

    Hello to you too.  I do stained glass strictly as a hobby (I'm already
    6 or 7 years behind on my house projects).  I took a class from
    Renaissance Glass when they were in Amherst NH - before they moved
    to Nashua.  Taught me everything I wanted know.

    There is a notes conference dedicated to stained glass.  People who
    will make custom glass, perform repairs, shops and classes are just a
    few of the topics covered.  Check it out for your stained glass needs.
