Stained Glass - EMERALD

Like each of Wayne Reardon's stained glass windows, EMERALD is a delightful one-of-a-kind work. This piece has at its centre two unusual diamonds of glue chip glass bevels. A classic favourite this choice of glass looks like tiny icy snowflakes forming on the window. Surrounded by a triple frame of bevels and emerald green glass, this piece will throw tiny rainbows around the room with any sunlight that shines through. This is a traditional design with the exquisite workmanship of a by-gone era, creating a timeless piece that would work in any location.

Size: 16 1/4" x 18 1/4". Framed in zinc, ready to be hung. Available for viewing at Cedar Lake at Unperfekt Studios in the Hamilton Farmers Market as of March 12. Due to the size in nature of this piece, it is not available for shipping, but can be delivered in Kitchener/Waterloo, Dundas, Cambridge, Stratford, and surrounding areas. Email info@cedarlake.ca with any questions.

The Artist: Stained glass artist Wayne Reardon grew up in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where he first developed an admiration of the historic stained glass windows in churches and homes. He was also inspired by the iconic brightly coloured houses of Newfoundland. After moving to Toronto in his early 20’s Wayne’s interest in stained glass grew as he walked through the old Toronto neighbourhoods and admired the artistry of the many stained glass windows. He decided to learn the art of stained glass at a small shop in Cabbagetown, and began designing and creating custom designs. His passion was ignited, and led him to further develop his skills at night school. Raising a family and a career in accounting and then horticulture put his stained glass on hold for a few years, but the move to Galt, Ontario inspired Wayne to reconnect to his art. He has been creating amazing high-quality pieces of bevelled, coloured and patterned glass ever since. “I design pieces that emphasize the beauty of the glass and, in keeping with my Libra nature, I prefer clean and balanced lines. From the onset of designing and creating the style to selecting the colours and textures of glass, I feel a deep connection with the past.”
