Stained Glass Photos

Welcome to my online photo album.

Mermaid Dressing Screen

Potrack's Mermaid dressing screen. It won 1st place in its class at the Tulsa State Fair, as well as receiving the coveted "People's Choice Award". It has mouth blown antique glass, along with assorted other glass. Mermaid features were painted and fired in the kiln. Her face was fired a total of 8 times. The clam shell is 3-D, and was slumped on a mold in the kiln.

The black pearl is a 1¼" marble, made with a lampworking torch. The center of the marble is a 3/8" black marble, surrounded by translucent grey glass, to give it the pearl effect. The wood frame is made of walnut coated with tounge oil. The screen is 5' x 5'6" tall.

Glass for the Pope

King Louis bearing 
the Crown of Thorns

This design was made by John, of one of the panels that Potrack made (at his day job at Loman's Studio) that was a series of panels created and dedicated to the Pope on his trip to the US in early 1999. It is of King Louis bearing the crown of thorns.
