Design and manufacture of stained glass -

Since 1964, we have made more than 10,000 leaded stained glass windows in our workshop. Although the origin of this type of stained glass dates back to the Middle Ages, its elaboration process remains similar. From a design, we draw it in real size. We select the glasses, cut, paint and bake them at about 600ºC. Then, we join each glass with lead strips, apply tin solder and caulk to provide greater strength to the stained glass.

Restoration-

Over the years, old stained glass windows can deteriorate. For this reason, one of our main works is to restore this type of stained glass, whether in private homes, public buildings or churches.

TIíffany -

This technique, named after its creator Louis Comfort Tiffany, revolutionized the art of glass in the late nineteenth century. Starting from a design, different colored glasses are joined by copper and tin tape, thus creating an original composition. In our workshop we make decorative objects such as mirrors, boxes, lamps and costume jewelry following this technique, which brings a touch of elegance and distinction.

Fusing -

Fusing is a technique that consists of the elaboration of unique pieces from the superposition of different colored glasses on a base glass. This composition is placed in an oven at a temperature of up to 840ºC. From this technique, we elaborate decorative objects such as plates and trays with Mallorcan motifs and costume jewellery. We can also apply this procedure in leaded stained glass windows, as we did in the church of Cala Rajada.

Restoration of the main rose window of the cathedral of Mallorca -

The glass of the rose window: 580 were saved, 403 were changed and 132 were added. This has contributed to improving the famous OCHO show, which takes place twice a year, on February 2 and November 11. All the glasses were cleaned, their edges sanitized and protected by a lead profile, to isolate them from contact with the marés.
