ATELIER VITRAIL DES BADELINS, Magland

I invite you to share a world of color, light, symbols ... My job is very ancient, secret and sacred to the neophyte as he could be for citizens coming to shelter in a church...and once again today. Since the Middle -Age, stained glass has been enriched with modern technology and remains a particular embellishment, refined, mysterious.
With painting or not (called "grisaille") and whatever style they are, these traditionnal leaded glasses can suit all types of decoration and buildings.
The modern method - Tiffany - is often used in "art nouveau" and "art déco" styles. We can work with small, curved pieces (boxes, lamps ... ) Each piece is circled with a copper strip. Then the pieces are soft soldered together.
Tiffany stained glassed, painted or not, can decorate doors, windows ...
I use the method of fusing to create contemporary pieces or dishes -on order for luxurious restaurant for example.
For the method "dalle de verre", I use thick coloured pieces of glass (about 3 cm). I cut all their sides to catch the light. These pieces are set in cement, plaster or resin. These stained glasses are reinforced with wire. So I can put them in a wall, like a window, without any problem.
