Fischer glass

For almost every Wednesday over the last 4 years, I have spent the evening with good friends Ted Bair and John Salisbury (owner of Gaytee Stained Glass Studios) eating pizza and talking and seeing all things stained glass in John’s studio. For the last 2 years as John finally put the Studio up for sale, I had been living with the prospect that our Wednesday evenings would eventually come to an end. That moment is here as John has sold the studio and 40 years of material and memories. John has been instrumental in my development as a stained glass artist and his knowledge and generosity has fueled a passion I had not experienced with any other media I had worked with in the past. I owe him so much and dedicate my work to him going forward. This is yet another sheet of Fischer glass I was sent home with last night, the last piece of glass I was humbled to receive before John closed his shop for good. I’m on my own again with my stained glass "hobby" and it is the friendship that I have forged with him that inspires me to continue to build the best windows possible. I can never thank you enough John.
