Project Updates
Two New Projects in the Studio
050713 14:34 EST
Two significant art glass projects we've been working on for months are now ready to move toward production. First, David Wilson's "Kinston Music Wall" public art project in Kinston, North Carolina is an exciting permanent cultural work depicting the "roots of musical expression and how they grew to become the Eastern Carolina Blues and Jazz" . The project is a free standing panelized structure of three walls, incorporating "graphic iconography and collaged-patchwork of images" in laminated tempered art glass.
Second is the new OPUS Restaurant & Bar under construction now in Salem, MA. Another exceptional restaurant by executive chef Jeff Cala and business partner Mark McDonough of Serenitee Restaurant Group, this restaurant has a large "L" shaped illuminated art glass bar as its feature. Reese Schroeder of liquidoranges STUDIO in collaboration with Paul Lyden, photographer, have created an art glass counter top appearing to be on fire. The opening date is tentatively set for late June 2013 at 184 Washington St., Salem, MA in the old Greenland space.

ART GLASS CLOCK FACE for Saudi Arabia
030212 15:20 EST
The clock face for Electric Time Company, Inc., made for a crown prince in Saudi Arabia is finished. Electric Time asked liquidoranges to produce detailed artwork in glass for the dial, modeled after the Mecca Clock Tower. Glass dial is 53"ø (flat) and made from tempered PPG Starphire glass layers, laminated to produce a 3/8" thick dial designed to fit within the metal bezel manufactured by Electric Time. The hour indicators and metal rings were applied to the surface of the glass by Electric Time, using 3M VHB adhesive tape. Saflex UV PVB was used as a UV-A/UV-B filtration to preserve the artwork.

Art Glass for a Saudi Prince
110711 15:58 EST
We've been working hard on a version of the great Mecca Clock in Saudi Arabia, to be installed at the residence of a Saudi Prince. Using our architectural laminated art glass technology, we presented a pair of samples to our worldwide clock maker client last week. This glass clock face will be the ultimate test of our process, as the sun is very intense in Saudi Arabia, and the specified color temperature for the internal LED's is less than desirable. We prefer working with 5300K, as true daylight. Here's a snapshot of the sample when placed outside on our client's light box.
