We create one-of-a-kind Art Glass Windows
through collaborating with our clients – sharing our ideas,
processes, and resources developed over the last 52 years.
“People do not care how much you know
until they know how much you care.”
-John C. Maxwell
Studies we create for our architectural projects. The frames are old, and the support glass is Lamberts, hand-blown glass from Germany, with cross-hatching striations.
Although we make some in a series, each study is one-of-a-kind.
A large window over a Jacques. With the pileated woodpecker as our focal point, we designed a tree that is overgrown and untamed, giving us a three-dimensional effect. This creates interest in the large area around the woodpecker, with the iridized glass picking up on the colors in the stone which surrounds it.
Amelia Presbyterian Church – Amelia Courthouse, VA
This photograph shows a third of the windows in this sanctuary. Using hand-blown translucent glass from West Germany, we could blend the trees and bushes on the exterior into our concept. The striations in the glass give movement to the windows as one walks through the sanctuary. This was my first completed church project.
“Jesus Welcoming the Parish”
A window we created for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Burke, Virginia, beside their sanctuary entrance.
Many, many years ago, I read an article about where to find the best barbeque in Arkansas.
“Heading south on Rt. 167, about 12 miles from Little Rock, you make a left on the first dirt road, past the abandoned Buick. Follow the road about 3 miles, and you’ll see a man sitting in his lawn chair, under a pole shed, stoking his fires.”
“No signage, no menu, no pricing, but somehow you know you’re at the right place.”
After moving from Richmond to rural Bremo Bluff, 41 years ago, this has been my business model.
Over the last 52 years, I have explored how Art Glass can be used in architecture, from keeping historical processes alive to creating new ways of using our skills and resources in a contemporary way.
I invite you to explore our extensive portfolio – our homepage is just a sampling. Perhaps there is a way we can collaborate, creating something exceptional for your home or sacred architecture.
