The Odyssey System allows the intermediate to advanced craftsperson to create a beautiful, professional quality lampshade. These excellent reproductions of famous Tiffany Studio designs are accurate in every detail - why change the best? Advantages of the Odyssey System include:

• A virtually indestructible 360º fiberglass form, which cannot melt or lose its shape.
  
• Permanently inscribed lines on the form cannot come off.
  Reusable waterproof mylar patterns that can be laid on your glass while wet grinding.
  
• Aperture ring and bottom rim ledges are molded into the form to guarantee a perfectly level lamp.
  
• Tacky wax system eliminates pins and tape - each piece can be trimmed to a perfect fit on the form before any are foiled or soldered.
  
• Excellent instruction booklet details how to construct a Tiffany - quality lampshade!
  

Odyssey hardware is identical to that used by Tiffany Studios, and is often substituted on original Tiffany lamps when hardware is missing. Machined brass rings fit into the top opening while 3/16" dia. brass bottom rims are curved to the bottom diameter of the shade. Rings and bottom rims should be ordered with your lamp form to facilitate construction. Support wheels and heat caps are finished in Tiffany green-brown patina. The actual outside diameter of the caps and rings is noted in parenthesis.
NOTE: Handcast Dragonfly jewel sets are available by special order.
