Art glass to good home

[beetiger]

Two large boxes of really nice art glass, mostly in about one-foot squares, purchased several years ago when stained glass was a hobby of mine. Our arts-and-crafts room is being converted into our nursery, and I don't expect to get back to the sharp-edges-and-lead-solder stuff for some years.

Some number of hundreds of dollars of retail value.

If you are/know a stained glass hobbyist, and are willing to come to either my home in Westchester County or some reasonable place in the Westchester or Boston areas to collect this, it's yours. They are heavy and I can't really lug them around anywhere elsewise.

I hate to just toss this -- it's really nice stuff, and I paid a lot for it, back in the day.

Let me know if no one steps forward to claim this -- one of Akycha's friends is an artist who works with stained glass, and I haven't known an artist yet who wasn't willing to at least contemplate free materials, especially of good quality. :) I don't leap on this simply because I don't know her very well and don't know how quickly I could get through to her... and if you have friends who want to jump on it, they should certainly have first dibs! :)

I love stained glass. Do you have any photos of finished projects?

I didn't know you were in Westchester!

Yup! We're not quite neighbors, but not too far away.

I'd take some of it, but I'm in Chicago :

i've always wanted to learn stained glass because i adore looking at it, especially lit. mike's mother used to make pieces, a decade ago, but even when i commented how much i liked them, she never mentioned showing me anything.

which is probably not the *worst* thing. *roll*

if you're serious about donating them to a hobbist, i'd love them, but my first instinct is to urge you to keep them. you never know what urge will strike you some mothranaptime in the future, and yes, there are less toxic hobbies, but if you loved it, it's something to do.

I have an aunt who does stained glass outside DC who would be interested in this glass.

Let me know if this would work for you.

I'm trying to avoid having to pack it in any more detail than thrown in a box in the back of the car and hope most of this doesn't break, which is why I don't want to put it in the attic in case I ever want it, or mail it.

Do check with her. Making this stuff go away before the end of the month would be a real plus for me.
