About Glassmasters:
The Glassmasters craft shop (now closed) ended production in 2004/2005 and was located in Richmond, Virginia. Their craftspeople took pride in creating the finest stained glass reproductions available in the world. Glassmasters' artisans continued the traditions of American stained glass craftsmanship. With each new design, the artists first determined which of the 1000+ colors in the Glassmasters' palette met the exacting requirements of the design. The artist began with meticulously executed drawings, and then determined the area and density of each enamel that would be applied to create a perfectly colored design. The application of the color was a slow process. Starting with European-made cathedral glass, the colors were individually applied and then dried at temperatures reaching 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Each enamel was cooled and inspected - one color at a time - before the next enamel was applied. Determined by the complexity of the design, this process was repeated as many as twenty-one times before the design enters the kiln to be fired. When fired, each design reaches temperatures of nearly 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the enamels become permanently fused into the glass. As inherent in stained glass found in museums and private collections throughout the world, each stained glass color will be as transparent and vibrant a century from now as they appear today.
