A recent addition to our showroom is this Plum Blossom window. The window pictures a flowering branch from a plum tree in a vase. Three layers of plated glass were used to create the vase, and additional plating was done on the table cloth. The design on the vase was achieved by hand cutting a…
We recently completed a window for a local client which was inspired by a large Impressionist landscape painting by Monet. For our client’s purposes, we trimmed the image down to a smaller detail of the overall painting. So, we have a bit of landscape with a riot of brightly colored flowers in the foreground –…

We have completed the large, multi-layered window inspired by the painting By The Seaside by Pierre Auguste Renoir. This Impressionist masterpiece presented several exciting challenges as we translated the piece into a stained glass window.
