Window Restoration College October 2-4, Roanoke VA

Save the Date!

October 2-4th

8am-5pm

Presented by the Architectural Review Board with training provided by Bob Yapp, noted author and historic preservation planning consultant, the Old Window Restoration College is an intense, hands-on workshop where participants will learn the cost-effective rehab of original double-hung wooden windows.

Instruction includes safe paint and glass removal, application of glazing putty, epoxy repair, weather stripping, and sash installation.

Wooden windows are an important feature of many older buildings, and preserving them is actually ‘greener’ than replacing them.

This college offers an opportunity for both learning and helping to save original windows in a historic, residential, or commercial property.

When: Friday - Sunday, October 2-4, 2009,
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Location: a residence on Day Avenue (to be announced)
Fee: $125 (includes materials and lunches).

Deadline to register is Tuesday, Sept. 18!

For additional information, contact Erica Taylor at 540.853.1522 or email her at erica.taylor@roanokeva.gov

Large Religious Stained Glass Panels

a while back, we salvaged multiple stained glass panels

from an artisan that specialized in restoration and had since retired.

many of these panels were waiting to be assembled, so we asked

our vendor SER Art to piece them together - what a result!

shelly was able to recreate three large

stained glass panels - all with biblical themes.

great vibrant jewel tones

with painted figures

the details and facial expressions are incredible

to see all three panels, visit our EBAY Store

or come see us in person
