Welcome to our web site. We specialize in designing and building stained, leaded, beveled, etched, fused and painted glass works. We can repair and restore art glass, provide custom sized tempered glass, and energy efficient enclosures for new and existing stained glass panels if needed.

We carry supplies, tools, patterns, literature, and glass stock for the glass hobbyist as well as classes in traditional leaded, foiled, and fused glass methods.

Whether you are a homeowner looking for something unique, an interior designer interested in what we can offer, or a home-builder looking for custom panels, we are interested in working with you to achieve the look you want.
