At my full service studio, we create one of a kind, heirloom
quality stained glass that won't be found anywhere else.
I offer consultation, design, fabrication and installation
solutions, as well as restoration services. Working primarily
by commission, I've completed projects for homes, businesses, churches
and more.
My services include:
• Consultation
• Design
• New Window Fabrication
• Window Frames
• Installation
• Restoration
• Maintenance
I
put the same attention to detail and quality into every piece I create,
using mostly Kokomo Opalescent Glass
for my restoration.
We work closely with the client through every stage of the process to
insure that we meet their objectives and reflect their style and taste.
I first consult with the client concerning their goals and specifications
for the project. This includes a good idea of the size, style and colors
to be used. I then provide a free estimation of cost and time to completion.
Following approval of the estimate, a concept rendering
is developed. Any revisions are then made. Once all changes and adjustments
have been made, the client will receive a final draft and price for
the project.
After a deposit is made and the glass is selected, we
begin creation of the project. Once the project is complete, the
client will be notified that the commission is complete and ready for
pick-up, delivery, or installation.
How much does it cost?
The cost is determined both by square footage and also ‘per piece’
of glass that needs to be cut for the window. So a window that has,
say, 100 pieces of glass will be at a higher price than one of the same
square footage with only 20 pieces of glass. As you can see, it is possible
to be in control of the costs of your window based on design alone;
and we are always considerate of your budget.
What if I'm unsure of what
I want?
I understand that ordering custom stained glass is something that you
may not have done before; so I like to make sure that you are informed
and are at ease with the process.
If you're don't quite know what you want, we can browse
through photos and books that I can bring to the meeting. If you have
a photo or sketch of things that interest you or colors you like, that
would also be helpful. We'll look through the materials and I'll
take lots of notes and ask questions concerning size, color, styles,
what you like / don't like, what inspires you and your budget. From
there I can determine what will best suite your needs.
What does restoration entail?
Stained glass restoration and preservation simply involves returning
an aged stained glass window to it’s original beauty and strength.
We can accomplish this through one or all of the following ways:
• re-leading the window (removing the existing lead, which holds
the glass pieces together, then replacing it with new lead)
• adding structural internal support (if needed)
• gentle cleaning of the glass
• replacing broken panes of glass
• creating a framework for the window to ensure that it hangs
safely for many years
