Welcome, I am Howard Gibbs, stained glass artist.
Here you will find Stained Glass Art Lanterns and other Stained Glass goodies.
My Stained Glass Art Lanterns are lighted, abstract & themed works that provide lighting from soft to moderate in range.
It is my philosophy that my lanterns should present the intended theme in light as well as displaying the theme in the lantern itself. In the future I would like to make some larger works as well as incorporate slumpped & or fused glass techniques.I use high quality foil and bold seams, (usually with textured solder work) which makes these lanterns relatively sturdy, compared to many stained glass works.
Lanterns are made separate from their lighting fixtures and can be simply lifted off for cleaning or to access bulb. All lighting fixtures have full range dimmer controls in cords. All hardware is of common type and is UL approved. Lighting fixtures may incorporate mirrors or other optical devices to optimize effect.
Each lighting fixture has attached information, regarding proper bulb wattage. Information will be provided regarding care and cleaning.
I also design & craft a variety of decorator lanterns, nightlights and sconce lamps, ( which can include a display of your trophy antlers).
Thank you for visiting, Howard E.Gibbs
