Zia Sun Symbol - Southwest Stained Glass
The southwest stained glass artwork is currently for sale. The landscape in the center of this artwork is constructed with the copper foil method. The rest of the design is constructed with lead came. This is because the non-geometric landscape looks better when done with copper foil and the geometric zia sun and border design look better when done with lead came. All lead, solder, and solder-covered copper have been darkened to a charcoal gray with a chemical patina. This hanging artwork is mounted in an oak frame, which looks black here but actually has a clearly visible wood grain with a medium stain. The size of this artwork is 27", including the wood frame.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been making stained glass for 50 years, since I took it up as a hobby at the age of eleven. I have been a full-time stained glass artist since 1975. I've won numerous awards for both my design and my craftsmanship.
I have completed commissions throughout the U.S. and Canada, and shipped my ready-made artworks as far as Dublin, Ireland. I also teach my unique methodology for making precision stained glass in a 43-hour set of DVDs, and I have sold hundreds of these sets in 15 countries so far.
As a visual artist, I invite you to view my images and compare the design and craftsmanship for yourself. Whether you are considering the purchase of an already-made stained glass artwork or commissioning new custom stained or beveled glass, I am confident that I can address both your desires and needs.
