Each pane is first mapped out on a storyboard and then sent to Photoshop where it is brought to life.
Technical lead line drawers convert the drawings into line art that can then be cut into the thousands of pieces of glass that will be connected by lead borders.
Glass pickers and cutters find the ideal texture, form, and shape of glass for each individual piece.
The glass is cut by hand or a water jet machine before it is transferred to the template or to the glass painters.
The glass painters paint the glass pieces with a mixture of powdered glass and liquid (primarily clove oil, as well as other oils, water and vinegar).
Assemblers solder and cement the lead lines, add a patina finish and reinforce the glass with steel.
Finally, the windows are prepped, insulated with tempered glass, and ready for installation.
