This is the area where the small miracles and magic happens.
Painting with light
Stained glass has the ability to breathe life and dimension into any creation by itself, but by adding color, words, lines and shadows, the possibilities are endless.
This section will take a walk through the different reasons for the addition of paint or layers. Usually for restoration, repairs and additions to existing windows. Sometimes, for the sheer love of artistic expression.
Woodworking Adventures
This is just a portion of the work done. Some of the designs were brought in from architects and designers, and some were our own designs.
