Art Of Stained Glass

My 1980s floral Stained glass on my deont door just wasn’t doing it for me… I Stopped by the store and spoke with George… Although I had a vague idea of what I wanted the new glass to look like, George was able to draw something out right away and show me what types of glass with the best in the new window. He came out to measure and was kind enough to install as well. We absolutely adore our new door!

I recently found myself wanting to hang some art glass in my east facing office window. Purpose? To capture the early morning sunbeams and transform my ordinary office into a colorful rainbow fest.
I went on a quest for a couple of days, even hit up antique stores, only to discover that places that carry or make this kind of thing are quite difficult to find. In the vicinity of about 30 miles, there were only two that I could find. And Art of Stained Glass was the most convenient.
We found this cluttered workshop in an industrial area, filled with finished and unfinished work. All the items carried were custom made. And the works were varied in style. I have to confess, most of them I found to be a little too tame for my taste; I was looking for something that had lots of beveling to act as prisms. The color element (like stained glass) was a possibility, if I could find the right one for my neutral interior. I could have done well with reds, golds, greens. Unfortunately, the ready made ones for the most part were not suitable because I also had bizarre size constraints. So I switched gears and looked for combinations of clear, etched, beveled, seeded, etc. And I found several nice, not too busy but still interesting ones, framed and ready to hang as well. The best part, they were having a sale on many of them.
I chose one that had been marked down a considerable amount. What I paid, still over $ 200, was still pricy enough, but far less than what I saw online. There were many that were priced much lower. I am quite happy with my purchase, and the lady who assisted us was quite helpful in pulling out what she thought I would be interested in. It was a good experience.

Come to this store if you are looking for your custom stained glass work to be done, or want a OK (not excellent) selection of stained glass. It’s in a modest looking building in a commercial area, and on entering the door you’re greeted by a labyrinth of stained glass doors, windows, lawn ornaments, and too many nick-​knacks to name. Make your way past all that and the inexplicable «woodie» station wagon, and you’ll find your way to the glass selection. Again, it’s a decent selection, but a bit unorganized. The prices are average for a glass store. If you see a sample you like, but don’t see it in its slot, be sure to ask the clerk– they might have it in the back.
Considering the small number of stained glass stores that are still around, this store is worth supporting, especially if it’s close by for you.
