 New
Hope Stained Glass is the work of Dan & Jill
Burstein, who live and work in Bucks County,
just outside of New Hope, PA.
Jill,
who designs all of the stained glass artwork, holds a
BFA from Washington University School of Fine Arts. Dan,
who studied under stained glass artisan, James Darrah
of Frenchtown, NJ, meticulously transforms Jill's designs
into superior quality Tiffany Style* stained glass artistry.
Dan also works in the Leaded Cane style of stained glass
design.
The
couple's love of the medium - it's variety in texture,
light, and color - and the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright
and his light screens, have resulted in a unique and
diverse body of work.
Dan & Jill
use colored transparent glass and seeded clear glass
together to create pieces that help to bring the outside
in, while maintaining the design and integrity of the
architecture/work that surrounds the artwork. For example,
one of their techniques is to incorporate a window mullion-like
design into a work that will be hanging in a mullioned
window. This gives the illusion that the stained glass
is actually part of the window.

Tiffany refers to the way the glass is put together.
Tiffany stained glass is the newer style and offers a
clean, thin line between the colored glass pieces. Leaded
Cane style is a more old-fashioned style. |
