Final wall with
coping stones on

2. STAINED GLASS
These colored
glasses were cut into
shape, and the
centre piece was
painted then scratch
into heart on one
side, and place it in
the kiln for hours.
Working on the other side of the glass with stained, in here I
applied only on within the heart, so that it gives me this yellow
effect. Each piece was wrapped with copper foil then held
together by soldering .
The last I applied patina on so that it has that worn out-look
3. RESTORING OLD WINDOWS
Old putty and
paint were
scraped and
glasses were
removed- both
broken and
unbroken.
Applied shellac then new putty
and place back the glass with
little pressure ,then glazing pins
were applied.
Broken glasses were replaced
with new cut ones and white
powder was used to clean the
glass from putty.
4. PLASTER
Making molding
After the wall get plastered , we ran
mold along the wall , but mold
can’t run in the corners , that’s why
it has to be fixed by hand
5. Masonry and stone carving
