Edge-gluing, in-fills and epoxy tinting: come away a magician in the magic of glass repair.
Service Description
Wednesday, August 6th, 2026 1:30PM - 4:00PM EST Holiday Inn Newark International Airport Half Day Workshop Techniques are discussed and demonstrated with attendees involved in hands-on participation. Topics include edge-gluing techniques employing conservation grade optical epoxies and silicones, in-fills and tinting of epoxies. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree and employment in other areas of the arts, Scott began working in stained glass in the early 1980’s for production studios in Richmond, Va. Soon his interest became primarily focused on the restoration of art glass windows at which time I served an apprenticeship in the studio of Jack Cushen in New York. Over the past 35 years my studio has been solely dedicated to the conservation of stained & leaded glass windows. Past projects include 13th - 16th century English & European panels, windows from the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany, John LaFarge, Belcher Mosaic Glass Co., Nicola D’Ascenzo, Heaton / Butler / Bayne, Charles Booth, James Powell & Sons and other historically prominent artists. I am the owner and chief conservator of E. S. Taylor Studio, LLC, a Professional Associate in the American Institute for Conservation and a member of the Virginia Conservation Association. Roberto Rosa is a principal of Serpentino Stained Glass, Needham, MA. He is an ICON accredited conservator (ACR), a member of the ICON Stained Glass Group, and a member of the BSMGP Conservation Working Group. He is a Founding Member of the American Glass Guild (AGG), a Board Member and Chair of its Education Committee. Roberto is a Fellow of the British Society of Master Glass Painters, a Fellow of the Corning Museum of Glass, a Fellow of the American Institute of Conservation, a Recognized Professional of the Association for Preservation Technology and a Member of the Corpus Vitrearum, USA. In 2025, he was presented with the American Glass Guild’s “Excellence in Conservation” award. Roberto continues to be hands-on in all aspects of the studio work and is especially happy when he’s at his favorite spot in the studio: at his bench conserving windows.
