Original art deco window copyright Gordon Wright  2011

Stained glass artist, Gordon Wright, is a perfect example of the excellence and diversity of creativity found at the Williams Mill.

Recently,  Gordon designed and installed this exquisite circular Art Deco stained glass window in the main door of the home theater of a privately owned Ontario Chateau.  

This true Art Deco stained glass window  elegantly compliments the art deco furnishings of the room. 

The image above is the whole window. To the left is a detail showing the rich and varied texture of the glass. This particular glass is called glass in the close up is vgl 043, but is aptly called "double reeded". 

Do you know that Gordon has also designed windows for palaces in Saudi Arabia, churches in Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Erin & Toronto, and many corporate  and private commissions, too? 

But he will happily create what your heart desires in stained glass for "castles" of any size! Trigger your imagination with more examples of Gordon's stained glass at www.gordonwright.ca or visit Studio 4 at the Williams Mill.
