i went on a bike ride to azure glass studio in professor avenue in tremont to say hi to ben & mary. they were busy with restoring the large fancy windows of john hay high school.

the whole thing gets sanded down and the glass will be replaced and frames treated. the metal part holding the glass together is lead so they have to wear respirators when steel wooling that.

here are some photos of the day.

i have a small video in WMP-9 format which has a little of the short bike ride and azure gazing that i captured.`
