Stained Glass from Glen Williams graces California mansion

Gordon Wright has just completed 2 stained glass windows to be installed in the stair landings of a mansion in Santa Barbara, California. Large sections of the design incorporate pink glass. To make pink glass, gold is used to create the colour and because of this it is 5 or 6 times more expensive than any other colour. The gold pink is mouth blown in Germany and France.
Wright shipped the windows from his studio to the States last weekend.
