Gerald’s Last Project for 2006
It was a small class of just one person Wednesday night when Gerald came in to finish his LSU window.
When he left last week all that was left to do was add 2 borders and then solder it all together. We cut a thin 1/2 inch border of the yellow glass and tacked it into place as you can see below.
Next up we put a larger 1 inch border of the purple around everything and then finished it off with some brass channel and hooks. The rest of the night was spent soldering. I went over it quickly for Gerald but I didn’t have to fix much of anything. His soldering is very good. Then he washed it off in the sink and applied black patina to it. After a second bath he waxed the lead lines and then we hung it up to see what it looked like.
It’s another fine example of the work that Gerald does.
This was the last class of the year and we will be headed out to PA for the next 2 weeks which means that we won’t be have any progress postings on here of our students work. But keep looking here because I’m sure to post an update of the trip to PA and maybe even a picture or two.
Classes will resume on Thursday, January 11th, which is not our normal day but we will be arriving back in Louisiana late Tuesday. Rather than waiting another week we will have 2 sets of classes for anyone interested in coming on Thursday. The morning class will run from 10am until 1pm (or thereabout) and the night class will run from 6pm until 9pm (or thereabout). 
We wish everyone a happy holiday season and look forward to seeing you all again soon. Stay tuned for further developments as they happen right here on the blog.
