#  Works in Progress and Latest Projects by Jay Hoyt Curtis of Art Glass and Metal

![Custom Art Glass Work in Progress with Tree](https://www.artglassandmetal.com/images/in-progress/tree-full.jpg)Jay understands that enjoying the process is key to creating glass and metal artworks that inspire the imagination of the viewer. Here you will get a "behind the scenes" view of Jay's creative process with [glass casting](https://www.artglassandmetal.com/art-glass-and-metal-manufacturing-techniques/cast-and-slumped-architectural-art-glass-for-windows-doors-gates-room-dividers-etc "custom art glass casting process"), [glass etching](https://www.artglassandmetal.com/art-glass-and-metal-manufacturing-techniques/glass-etching-etched-glass-doors-windows-gates-panels "custom etched glass architectural art designs"), [slumping](https://www.artglassandmetal.com/art-glass-and-metal-manufacturing-techniques/cast-and-slumped-architectural-art-glass-for-windows-doors-gates-room-dividers-etc "custom art glass casting process"), [metal working](https://www.artglassandmetal.com/art-glass-and-metal-manufacturing-techniques/custom-designs-for-metal-doors-metal-gates-and-entryways-and-metal-artworks "metal and glass architectural artworks by jay curtis"), and more.

The manufacturing and design process for architectural glass components often varies from piece to piece, but always keeping in mind the core steps required to create an artwork that is not only visually stunning, but structurally sound. A well made work of glass art will stand the test of time when exposed to the elements, and the time and expense invested will pay off for years or even decades, creating a timeless and long-lasting impression.

Jay's art glass designs typically begin with a hand drawn illustration, and are often combined with computer generated graphical elements when needed. We think you'll agree that the end results are stunning!

I was recently commissioned to design and create a large commemorative etched glass plaque at **The Bridges Golf Center** at **The Bridges Country Club** in Rancho Santa Fe.

### The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe

#### A private golf and country club in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe.

Imagine a private retreat, nestled among the citrus groves, rolling foothills and lush fairways of Southern California. Picture a place of connections, camaraderie, competition and ease from the pace of life - an idyllic environment for a gracious way of living.

The plaque is to commemorate **Richard C. Helmstetter** of **Callaway Golf** fame, known by some as "[The Mad Scientist of Golf](https://photography1on1.com/the-mad-scientist-of-golf/ "the mad scientist of golf Richard Helmstetter")". As Senior Executive Vice President of the Callaway Golf Company, Mr. Helmstetter was a principal figure in the company that revolutionized the golf world:

#### Glass ocean wave shower divider made by waterjet cutting and etching

Jay created this masterful stationary shower stall divider panel in a home in Orange County. He created it using a combination of water jet cutting the outline and etching in the wave design by hand.

### Yes, metal and glass barn doors can be used INSIDE your home!

I created these large metal and glass barn doors to give optional privacy between a large kitchen and a living room in a custom home in San Diego. While one might usually think of barn doors in a rustic outdoor setting, this particular blending of rustic and modern styles brings a unique look to the interior of this spacious custom home.

### This Etched Glass Seahorse Makes Showers a Dreamy Experience

This client wanted an etched seahorse themed panel for a shower stall. I was given some leeway in the design, so I came up with a stylized kelp design background to flow with the seahorse.

### Hand Made Cast Glass Surfboard Wall Art Custom Designed and Produced by Jay Hoyt Curtis

I made this solid 1-1/2” thick glass surfboard for a niche space in a California beach home. The board is 20 inches wide at the waist and 7’ 8” long. It is a big wave gun shape, typically used in the bigger waves at places like the north shore of Hawaii and Mavericks in northern California.

### Huge Black Glass Photo Etching by Art Glass and Metal

I created this custom large format photo etching on black glass for a casino. The actual etched glass piece is four feet tall by fourteen feet long.

The piece is supported by 12 stainless steel standoff bases that float the glass 2-1/2 inches off of the wall behind it, with the wood frame bracketing the piece. It is by far the largest photo etching I have ever done, and the largest I have seen in general.

- [ tree branches ](https://www.artglassandmetal.com/site-index/tree-branches)

### This Shower Enclosure with Tree Branch Was a Simple Yet Challenging Project

This custom etched glass shower stall was a challenge to create something with an eye catching natural allure for a space that was predominately full of right angles. It had to complement the existing setting without looking out of place, so for this reason I chose a simple tree branch motif that would not overpower the otherwise simple yet elegant design of this bathroom.

### Custom Designed Courtyard Gate with a Cast Glass Ocean Wave Theme

I designed and created this cast glass courtyard gate with a **breaking ocean wave motif** for a private residence in **San Diego**. It measures 95” x 47” and has a locking mechanism for security, and it functions as a gate or door leading into an entryway courtyard. The ocean themed art is an homage to San Diego's picturesque coastal scenery.
