I’m going to need a team to get this project constructed, and we’ve decided to convert our messy old garage to a bright, comfortable stained glass studio. Robert is having a difficult time conquering his hoarding instinct, so we’ve decided to move the garage contents to a storage unit to save time instead of waiting for him to force himself to bring it all to the dump. Right now, the interior of the garage has exposed black tar paper on the walls, and there’s a ton of stuff in the rafters that creates a claustrophobic feeling, but I’d love to paint the whole thing white and have the space feel clean and airy.
Additionally, I’m seriously thinking that we should tear out the rotting old garage door, and replace it with a glass wall. I’d love to do the same to the rear wall too, so that the studio will have lots and lots of natural light. It would be so inspring to create stained glass in a studio full of sunlight! On the practical side, I’ll need a place where I can error check and photograph the Makers Mark panels, and a glass wall might be a good solution… there could be cross-bars where I could place several panels side by side. We’re drawing up sketches for this door.
I’ve ordered adjustable workbenches for my assistants, and once the garage renovation is getting close to completion, I’ll write up a job description and post it to my social media and webpage.
