But Bon- nie Thomson of Seagrave sees stained glass becom- ing a household fixture. As a part of the upcoming Vic- toria County Studio Tour, June 3 and 4, Ms. Thom- son and her "Through the Looking Glass" shop on River Street, will display an array of original and di- versified stained glass pieces to the public. Although the Studio Tour is on its tenth year, this will be Ms. Thomson's 379 Co) ol DI LT ao) 1 90 D 2:02 Thursday, June 8th, 1995 first appearance in it. She 1s a relative newcomer to the area, having lived in Toronto until two years ago, but loves living here. She began working in stained glass as a hobby in 1981 but, "people started asking me to make things for them and it just sort of blossomed" she said. Now she works in a tiny stack-log cabin beside her home in Seagrave, where she can spend some time with her two young sons. In addition to her shop, "Through the Looking Glass," Ms. Thomson has pieces in an Oakville res- taurant as well as several shops in this area, includ- ing Country Mercantile in Uxbridge and Special Mo- ments in Whitby. Her rep- PORT PERRY STAR CLASSIFIED AD DEADLINES MONDAY - 12 NOON (24 HB 5. $4 24X04 od I = RR LES IATA 2.8 2] of 2 utation and advertising have been spread by word of mouth, and the Studio Tour this weekend is her first real advertisement. Subjects of the stained glass include birds, floral themes and aquatic de- signs. Ms. Thomson uses an effective variety of tex- tures in her glass, such as rippled glass for water, English muffle for Victori- an design, and Jack Frost glass for further textural variety. The most fascinating as- pect of the studio material, however, is the diversity of uses and purposes for stained glass. There are side-windows, room divid- ers, plant hangers, corner pieces, picture frames and lampshades. Ms. Thomson is also ex- perimenting with scrap glass as a mosaic-like in- set for bowls and flower pots, and sheis also collab- orating with a local cabi- netmaker for chests, cabi- nets and garden gates. Thereis a definite move- ment towards integrating stained glass into domes- tic settings. A "cocooning" trend isin progress. "The baby boomers are having their children, and theyre staying at home and doing everything in their home and mak- ing...themselves comforta- ble and not going out as much," said Ms. Thomson. Stained glass plays a role in this trend because it makes a home very cozy, bright and cheerful. Stained glass is only one of the multitude of media to be encountered in the Victoria County Studio Tour this year. There is a wide range of work, rang- ing from sculpture to woodworking, watercolor to pastel, pottery to minia- ture houses, and a motley cluster of artists and craftspeople to visit as well. The Studio Tour will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the June 3-4 weekend.
