Work has been progressing on the 18″ Lotus Lamp which Irwin has been creating. Once all four sections were cut and fit, the time consuming work of hand wrapping each individual piece of glass in copper foil began. Following the foiling of each piece of glass, the lamp pieces have been transferred onto the three…
This past weekend, we put up our annual Century Studios Holiday display. Stop by our showroom and browse our selection of Christmas tree ornaments, gift items and hand made stained glass holiday suncatchers.

We offer two lines of bases, those created by Odyssey and bases made in our Minneapolis studio. Odyssey bases are cast overseas using molds taken from original Tiffany Studios lamp bases. They are…
