Stained Glass Windows & Doors

Leaded stained glass is the studio's flagship craft. Every window begins with a full-size cartoon drawn on the studio table — from there, each piece of sheet glass is hand-cut, ground, wrapped in copper foil or leaded with came, and soldered together with 50/50 alloy. The finished panel is then aged, patinaed, and polished before installation.

What we offer

  • Residential entryways, sidelites, transoms, and stair windows
  • Ecclesiastical sanctuary windows for churches and chapels
  • Restaurant and retail architectural glass
  • Commissioned memorial and tribute panels
  • Leaded and copper-foiled construction options
  • Protective glazing available for all installations

How it's made

  1. 1

    Site visit & sketching

    We measure the opening, study the light, and sketch the first design on tracing paper over photographs of your space.

  2. 2

    Cartoon & glass selection

    A full-size color cartoon is drawn, then glass is selected piece by piece — often from our inventory of European and American art glass.

  3. 3

    Cutting, leading, soldering

    Each piece is cut to cartoon, wrapped or leaded, soldered on both sides, and aged to the finish of your choosing.

  4. 4

    Cementing & installation

    Leaded panels are weatherproofed with cement putty, then delivered and installed (or shipped crated for your installer).
