Hightail Studios Glass Gallery

Below are some examples of glass works that we have created - click on the images for larger versions.

		This design is based on the nautical chart for Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. It uses a mixture of leaded and foil-wrapped glass.
Another circular window with some kind of creature in a set of interlocking circles. This piece is entirely leaded glass.
The windows below were created for installation in an exterior basement entry enclosure. They depict an evergreen tree and a map of the location of the house in West Seattle.

Many rowhouses in Baltimore have transom windows, most with stained glass house numbers. Over the years, many have been removed or broken. We can create new leaded glass transom numbers as the perfect finishing touch for renovations and new construction.
	This pineapple design was created as a wedding gift. The pineapple is a symbol of welcome and hospitality in some cultures.
This artichoke design was created for a well-used kitchen. The artichoke is a symbol of good eating!
	This abstract piece is an example of foil-wrapped glass. Foil wrapping allows for more intricate designs, as smaller glass pieces may be used. In leaded work, small glass pieces would be covered by the lead came.
This piece was created for a community sailing organization in San Francisco, and was sized to replace one of the panes in an existing window.
		This 8-panel lamp depicts the night sky, with comets and meteors alternating with the moon and planets. Most lamps made with wrapped foil are called "Tiffany" lamps, as Louis Comfort Tiffany popularized the technique in his beautiful lamps and windows.
		This narrow transom window was installed over an entry door. It's foil-wrapped, but probably could have been done in lead. The second figure from the right may look familiar.
		This is our first foray into neon, a fascinating medium to work with. You may recognize the rudimentary figures of a running rodent.
