Classes

Beveldine offers a wide variety of Art Glass Classes. From basic beginner classes to advanced classes, we cater to each individual’s abilities and level of experience.

Fused Glass & Kiln Firing

There are many different projects and commissions being created at Beveldine. We rent our kilns to artists to slump their own projects, and have created many custom pieces for lamp repairs, tile, bent glass shapes, plates, bowls, ornaments, jewelry, sculptures and many other fused glass creations you can imagine. We have multiple sized kilns for rent or give us your project spec’s and we will fire away.

Hand Beveling

We offer full service beveling. We bevel glass or mirror, clear or colored, smooth or textured, thick or thin. We can make almost any size or shape of bevel. Machine (straight) and Hand (curved) Bevels from  ¼” to 1-1/2” wide. We can bevel down to 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” by machine, and our talented resident beveling master has replicated pieces with as little as a 1/8” wide bevel. Nothing compares to the beauty of refracted light, creating a rainbow of colors as the light changes throughout the day. Consider using bevels in any new project, you will not be disappointed.

Insulated Units

We are one of the few companies that insulate our own Leaded glass panels. As glass artists, we want the decorative glass to be as beautiful as possible for viewing. There are times of the day when an insulated unit will show a glare across the face of the glass. However, there are many pluses to an insulated unit. Safety in high wind areas, glass cleaning ease, especially at the beach or hard to reach windows and protecting polished zinc and brass from oxidizing. We insulate wine room doors and windows to make sure you have the energy efficiency needed for temperature control. We will be happy to educate you on all the pro’s and con’s of insulating your decorative glass.

Repairs & Restoration

Repairs are a huge part of our business. When your door or window is cracked, we can usually take it out, repair it, and return it the same day. If we need a little more time, we will put a piece of plywood in its place so that your home is secure while we work on your piece. If you can bring it in to our shop, you will save the money that we need to charge for removing and installing. When we are finished the piece is as good as new. We replace all bevels or broken glass with a new piece that we match as close as is possible. We can also repair insulated panels when the outside tempered glass has been broken and or the window seal has failed and it appears to be cloudy. In some cases you may need to touch up the molding with paint when we are finished.

Each window on an individual basis with size, design and environmental factors, will have a different life span before a restoration is needed. In the majority of cases, a typical leaded glass window will out live us. The re-glazing of a panel (the putty underneath the lead which keeps it waterproof and rigid) should take place when you see it cracking and falling out. It has been widely noted that a window a century old will need to be re-leaded. You will notice the lead stretching and separating, and breaking before the solder joint. At a certain age the lead becomes so thick with corrosion it can not be soldered strong enough to make the repair last. The glass itself should last “forever” withstanding oxidation from our environment. After all, there are stained glass windows that are centuries old.
