During our CommUNITY Dinner on November 18, we will be selling some of the Stained-Glass pieces. There will also be some Stained-Glass Ornaments for sale. All proceeds will go to our Benevolence Angel Tree Ministry.
*The Stained-Glass pieces may only be purchased at the CommUNITY Dinner on Wednesday, November 18.
Prices are marked for each piece (no bidding). The large ornaments are $20 each and the smaller ones are $15 each.
There are a total of 20 pieces which vary in size and complexity. Those with wooden frames utilize wood from old church pews. Please note: These are works of art. Some are a bit delicate and there may be some burrs or sharp edges, so be careful. Some are to be displayed, not handled. Epoxy pieces are obviously more rugged and more easily handled.
About the stained glass: These pieces of art were created from the stained glass and/or old wooden pews in our old sanctuary. Thus the glass and wood date to around 1921. Bob McCrory (with the assistance of Alesha Dabbs) has created a few pieces that are stock (meaning they are isolated portions of the original stained glass with little or no changes). However, most of the works are new creations. He often dissects a stained-glass panel which has broken pieces in it and re-organizes the pieces into new and smaller arrangements. Some of his works include cutting the pieces to new sizes or shapes. In so doing, lots of tiny shards or fragments are produced. Rather than waste these, he is even making use of the shards trapping them in creative (and safe) ways using epoxy shapes!
