Stained glass care instructions:
To maintain your stained-glass piece, simply wipe with a microfiber or soft cotton cloth. Do not use vinegar, ammonia (e.g., Windex) or any acid-based cleanser, as these can destroy the solder that is holding the piece together. Do not clean stained glass with an abrasive material as it will remove or scratch the patina on the metal. If needed, water and a mild dish soap, such as Dawn, can be used to wash it. Make sure to gently dry it off immediately after washing to prevent water spots.
Proper hanging of your stained-glass piece is incredibly important. Stained-glass pieces larger than 3" x 3" cannot hang from suction cup hooks and should be hung on vertical lengths of chain from anchored hooks. This will ensure they can be enjoyed for years to come.

CULTURAL GROUP:
Haida
BORN:
June 25, 1983
BIRTHPLACE:
Prince Rupert, BC
After spending five years apprenticing with a Haida mentor from 2006-2011, Juanita took a hiatus from the art market to raise her twins born in 2009. A gifted jeweller, Juanita won a YVR Foundation Award in 2008 that helped her expand her practice into argillite carving. In 2009 she won a YVR Foundation Award again which allowed her to pursue carving wood. In the years since, Juanita has learned a variety of new skills and is embracing new media. A combination of limited access to traditional materials and a passion for colour and exploration lead her to the medium of stained glass. Around since the 7th century, stained glass is an artform itself and a new and innovative medium for Haida artistic expression.
