PRGS Completes Restoration and Lighting of a 100 Year Old Window
PRGS Has Completed the Restoration and Lighting of a 100 Year Old Window Attributed to John LaFarge for Trinity Episcopal Church in Natchez, MS. The restoration of this window took many months and much skillful laboring by our Restoration Specialist, Marsh Nabors, but in the end, the result was breathtaking. This stunning window, attributed to the amazing stained glass designer, John LaFarge, was barely visible prior to its restoration due to poor lighting and age and dirt build up. There were even individual glass pieces that had completely disintegrated. But after much TLC, the window has been returned to its original grandeur, for the enjoyment of generations to come.
A Whole New Line of Decorative Art Glass Pieces!
For the Cedars show this year, Pearl River developed a new line of decorative glass pieces including religious Glass Icons and Glass Standards which are similar to the Bud Vases we have done for many years, but are strictly sculpture pieces. Come by the studio soon to see them and pick up a unique christmas gift. (Pictures to follow soon.)
