I am about to embark on a whole new endeavor. I am going to do a series of bloggs on Restoration, Conservation and Repair of Stained Glass.

Did you know that more people view stained glass than people view great works of art in a gallery? Just think about that for a minute...Pretty cool eh?

Cranberry Stained Glass Studio & Supply Inc (Cranberry) is focused on preservation of all stained glass in Atlantic Canada and beyond.

Most of the historic stained glass in this part of the world is located in places of worship, public buildings and private homes. Most of it is approximately between 75 and 125 years old. This is a time when some intervention must occur to keep the installations safe and secure for another 75 to 125 years.

Lead ( the infrastructure matrix the holds the installation together) generally starts to break down and fatigue for a whole host of various reasons, at about 75 year mark.

Cranberry has always has the tag line “Sharing our Passion for Glass”. It is extremely important to us to keep stained glass in the spirit as it was intended by the original artist, to inspire, to open minds, to educate and to beautify.
