Not all windows are rectangles; sometimes they are curved, round, triangles, octagons, and more! Since all of are glass is custom, we can create art glass for these shapes. This way you get a unique window made to fit your needs! You can check out our Shaped Window Page here to see more of what we have done.

Here’s to another year of creative art glass for our fabulous clients! We hope everyone had a great 2022 and below is some of the wonderful art glass and custom glass projects we got to work on:
Art Deco Craftsman and Colorful!
Check out this door insert! It combines that classic art deco geometric design with wonderful cool colors with a pop of yellow. Plus a lovely texture for the clear glass giving this sidelight privacy with it’s beauty. It looks great as the light hits it (and makes some wonderful patterns on the floor too we bet!)
This was a great pieces to design and create and we love how it turned out and our client does too!

Lead and Bevel in Art Glass
Lead and bevel, leadlite, or colorless stained glass is perfect for windows, doors, and entryways. They do not tie you down to a color while using the lines, textures, and a great variety of bevels to make stunning and unique designs. We can design around your level of opacity and matching the theme of your home, office, or business. Check out our Lead and Bevel page here to see our past works and find the inspiration for your new lead and bevel glass!
Privacy & Design for the Bathroom
This is a lead and bevel design for the sliding windows over the tub in a bathroom. The frosty looking background texture (Gluechip) keeps things private while still allowing the outside light to come in and illuminate the art. This is a custom design for a client with clean lines and a wonderful bevel cluster in the center of the windows. They can still be opened as well, making art even more functional. We are here to make your custom design come true with art glass! Check out our art glass window page here to see more of what we have done and gt inspired!
A Grand Entrance with Art Glass
Many homes feature door inserts in their front doors, and some have side lites as well, or sometimes it is just a side lite or two. These are great places for stained glass overlay or stained glass. These types of art glass can be created with many different colors, textures, or bevels. Our designers can match what our clients already have, whether it is creating a new door insert or side lites to match original pieces. Or, we can create a whole new set that better reflects our clients style.
The front door is the entrance to the home, and we love helping our clients make these entrances grand! Plus, the different colors and textures add as much privacy and obscurity as you would like.

Art Glass Transoms
Transoms are high up windows - most often above doors or other windows. In general, these are stationary windows that provide light into the home. They are also a fantastic place for stained glass overlay and when the light shines through them, you can see the amazing colors and textures reflected inside the home. In the case of multiple transoms and windows, we can create cohesive matching pieces, or designs that flow from one window to the next.
Our designers work with our clients to create these pieces so that you get a custom piece of art and a custom experience! These are pieces made with the client in mind that include how much privacy they would like, colors, textures, style, and shapes. We can do all kinds of traditional and contemporary styles along with things to tickle your fancy!

Designs in Art Glass
Stained glass and stained glass overlay are absolutely lovely ways to add style and design to your home. They are a great way to combine form and function - such as added art glass to windows or cabinet doors. You already need glass in the home, so it is great to add some of your personality and style to that glass! Plus, this is a great way to add privacy or obscurity to these pieces. That way, the view can be what you want it to be looking in AND out!
Custom designs by our amazing designers mean you get a great one of a kind piece for your home. We can design with many different styles and enjoy giving our clients something amazing. Contact us today with what you had in mind for your art glass and get the process started to having art in your home!
Lead and Bevel Art Glass - A Monochrome Delight!
Lead and Bevel in traditional stained glass and stained glass overlay involves lead lines creating the design and often includes bevels which are specialty shaped pieces of glass that can be used individually or together to create a decorative shape. It can be with clear, textured, or privacy glass as well. These are great ways to add design to your entryway - we can create cohesive pieces that work together with your needed level of privacy. Plus, with only a small bit of color, or none at all, it is easier to match with the rest of the home. And, if you are selling the home, lead and bevel is a great choice without locking anyone into a certain color.
Add art glass yo your windows, doors, mirrors, or have your own piece created for hanging! Our talented designers love being creative and making a unique piece that matches our clients style. Contact us today about your lead and bevel piece!
Art Glass Overlay Windows
Art glass overlay windows are a popular use for art glass and one of our favorite ways to combine form and function. We can create art glass overlay for windows that are stationary or sliding. These units are double glazed or triple glazed, with the art safe on the inside. This way there is a tempered piece of clear glass in front of the art for a dual glaze, or one on each side for a triple glaze.
Plus, our art glass is created on tempered glass for improved strength over annealed glass. We love being safe and creative in how we do our art! Our designers love working with our clients to come up with their ideal design. We make pieces that can match a favorite textile, art in the home, inspired by a trip, or even a portrait of your pet! We love our traditional roots but are up to the challenge of creating something you would not typically see in stained glass. Show off your favored design when upgrading your windows that gives you your preferred level of privacy while still enjoying the glow of the light from outside.
Or, another option is where we can create a framed hanging piece to be put inside or outside of a window or patio door. This adds art to your view and makes it easy to take your custom creation with you if you move so it can be enjoyed wherever you are.
