To begin the work, our team was supplied with two boxes, a bucket of glass, and what was left of the windows. Bill Matt, Executive Director of Meadow Brook Hall described it well for CBS Detroit: There were thousands of shards of glass. They had to painstakingly sort all the colors of glass that we were able to recover, and fill in a few more spots, but you can tell by the coloring it’s beautiful work, spot on with all the other windows, and they look amazing![3] Some of our team described it like working on a “big puzzle.” Little by little the windows were meticulously pieced together, replaced, and rebuilt based on our reference photos. The windows depict scenes of the arts, including Music, Literature and Entertainment, and Drama. The windows were created specifically for this room by J. Scott Williams.[1] The replacement glass is European hand blown (or full-antique.) For this project we utilized painted and leaded glass techniques. Our in-house team handled replicating and re-firing the painted figures featured in the windows and our friend and fellow artisan, Maria Orr from the American Glass Guild handled much of the intricate glass painting for the diamond glass pane window.
