Artesano Gallery Glass


New stuff is arriving that we ordered in Philadelphia. What fun! We just received these wonderful stained glass pieces by Hamid Emami of Artesano Gallery Glass. We have a wide variety of shapes including moons, hearts, stars, suns and crosses. They come in several sizes and can be hung on the wall or in the window. They are such bright colors that they make me hopeful that spring will arrive in Montana soon.

The medium and technique that Hamid uses is stained glass, glass beads, copper wire, agates and metal. Copper foil technique is used for making the stained glass. The glass is individually wrapped w/ copper foil and then soldered to free form wire figures or agates to create unique and contemporary sun catchers.
