About the studio
From the Manhattan skyline to the Texas Hill Country.
"Using centuries-old techniques as well as innovative methods to bring a unique balance to an ancient art."
Degenhardt Glass Studio is a well-established, full-phase, high-quality custom glass studio, originally founded in New York City and now based in the Texas Hill Country just outside Austin. For over forty years, master glass artist Jack McCoy has hand-crafted commissions for houses of worship, private residences, and commercial clients across the country.

Credentials
Four decades of commissions.
Jack McCoy has been creating art glass professionally for more than forty years. His work hangs in private residences, restaurants, and places of worship across the United States, with pieces shipped as far as Europe and Asia.
The studio operates start-to-finish in one location: design, glass selection, cutting, leading, soldering, kiln-firing, sandblasting, and finishing all happen in-house. There is no subcontracting, no assembly-line production, and no catalog ordering — each commission is engaged as a unique artistic project.
The studio accepts commissions from clients who value meticulous handcraft over fast delivery. Timelines reflect the real time required to make each piece well — typically 6–12 weeks for residential panels and 4–6 months for larger ecclesiastical works.
