Stained Glass Installations

August 20th, 2011 by Ron Branch

Installing windows for Chuck Franklin Glass Studio at Voodoo DohnutsOne way to supplement income during the recent slow times has turned out to be stained glass installation. It’s also been a great way to be more exposed to the wonderful works happening in our community… inspirational really. Occasionally fellow glass artists just need an extra hand.

I always do my best to say yes whenever asked. Each opportunity is rewarding just to get to interact with others in the field.
