From stained glass to sourdough bread : same logic . All by hand. Takes time. Probably idiotic financially . But I know what’s in it . And it corresponds to my philosophical allegiance to the BTC ecosystem. And hey… I am
a simple craftsman.

Stained glass restorer/creator artisan. & Hand tool woodworking. Why? Because restoring is being part of the BTC realm. Not buying sh”& that will be useless in 2 years … but like BTC will be there as an Heritage . Creating beauty through Light and Glass is being true to a code : beauty of well Made Human things. Let’s get glass crazy!
With my favourite apprentice….
Here we go with another restoration .
Enjoy friends .
Moving pictures of the day
Final restoration . With great artisans , the Sky is the limit ;) I am lucky to have them .
Reinstalling 1929 stained glass. I must say …it’s not a winter job …but it is what it is !
Mock-up time… and yes …they will be put into the light !
But there is 55 like that to be installed … so trial is paramount .

Some small communities do all they can to preserve for the other generation . Very “hard money “ mentality , when you think about it .
Just finished restoration yesterday. Installed today.
Testing this video…

My work office today …
I must say: I have the most amazing craft in the world:) even though it’s kind of cold today !
I have a Dream: to help onboard Artisans. Alone not easy. Being self employed and trying to build
a business on BTC is a challenge .
But hey! Miracles do happen :)
Delicacy, composition, richness!

Just sharing .
Part of a series of stained glasses analyzed last week. XIXth and beginning of XX. English studios.
Stoping the flow of Time in Gaspésie & Bas St - Laurent. The beauties of the First Churches in North America are jewels . They were often decorated/designed by the 2-3 generation immigrant from France . Many of the most skilled students were sent abroad to learn (university).
We then relied on the Craftsmanship of the new settlers . From Stained glass point of view , those churches are rarely decorated with them. The cost was prohibitive for farmers/fishers community .
