Martin’s
uses the copper foil method (also known as Tiffany foil construction) to
produce a range of hand crafted stained glass lamps, mirrors, nightlights,
vases and window hangings.
Louis Comfort Tiffany,
who was an outstanding artist of the American Art Deco movement, developed
this method. Tiffany needed a way to manipulate flat glass into
specialized forms, something virtually impossible with the traditional
lead method of stained glass. He developed a lighter, more flexible
way to work with glass in copper foil. This allowed for the
elaborate designs of the lamps that carry his name to this day.
This
gallery contains many of Martin's copper foil pieces which he has produced
over the past ten years, please visit this site again as these ranges are
being continuously extended as Martin’s portfolio of work expands and
grows.
