Hi,
I was wondering if you ever do any classes on glass blowing? Do you know anyone in the Maritimes that does?
Thanks,
Jan
No I don’t but I suggest you go to the GAAC site, Glass Artists Association of Canada site and contact them. As far as I know there are no classes in hot glass on PEI.
Susanna, i looked at the windows you asked about on the forum. They don’t really look like some Mayer windows I worked on at Catholic University in Washington DC, or Christ Church in Georgetown, also Mayer of Munich and in DC.I added some galleries to mey website including an interesting set of Queen Anne sashes at Gallaudet University Presidents Residence, from 1868..take look,,,Daniel
I also received a reply from Patrick Burns, I quote “Nice windows but by whom? Not McCausland I think, but maybe O’Shea or Hobbs of Montreal? Look again in every lower RH corner for a signature–sometimes they are nearly invisible”.

I am unfamiliar with these studios O’Shea and Hobbs I will look them up.
Your entire post, “Firehorse Studios” was indeed worth writing a comment on!
Only wished to point out you truly did a tremendous job. Thanks for your effort -Karol
