Toby's Sample Houses

Sample Houses
Toby Ward began his stained glass works in 1981 and started building glass houses in 1984. Since that time he has completed over 35 houses, 22 of which are in his private collection. Each house typically takes about 30 to 60 hours to complete.
All glass houses were constructed with no pattern or plan other than the plan envisioned in the craftsman’s mind. Since no pattern exists or was used, all houses are one of a kind. The typical size is about 6in x 6in.
