Architectural Glass - Printing on to glass with leading edge digital technology
Experimental techniques have transformed approaches to the use of coloured glass in buildings. Double=glazing, artificial lighting and computer-generated design present new opportunities. New 2-D printers can etch designs in ceramic ink right onto giant panes of glass - company logos, artwork, really anything the creative mind can come up with.

Eastern Ontario
St Andrew's Church, Williamstown, Eastern Ontario
The old fences in the St. Andrew’s cemetery, Williamstown were made by the Clendinneng foundry in Montreal in the 19th century. The iron pieces for the various plots were brought along the St. Lawrence by ship and taken inland by sleigh during the winter to the St. Andrews church.
Around 1900, the church decided to remove all the iron fences around each plot to create a long perimeter fence surrounding the perimeter of the cemetery including the church itself. It is made up of fences of different design from the various plots and It is quite beautiful. Over the years some trees have fallen down on a few sections but church had enough iron in reserve to fill the gap. There on now only one single plot remaining with iron and it comes from the Clendinneng foundry, c.1840s.
