Coordinating window and light fixture for a residential foyer give a bright welcome to all guests. The home's contemporary architecture and prairie location called for a modern twist on traditional motifs. The window is primarily mouth-blown German glass plus German molded jewels, whereas the pendant lamp is made primarily of square jewels. Contrasting hues (blue and red) and tones provide excitement and the variety of jewels add textural interest. The window, leaded and made air-tight, is installed on the interior side of a double-paned window, adding another layer of thermal efficiency. The hanging lamp is made in copperfoil technique.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
We are a husband-wife team who design and create stained glass windows, artful stained glass objects, and functional fused glass for homes, businesses, and public spaces. For more than thirty-five years we have been creating windows, glass panels, and light fixtures tailored to specific sites. Now we also offer kiln-formed glass. We love working with mouth-blown and handmade glass because of its rich beauty, and our delight in the glass is shown through innovative design and excellent fabrication in lead and copper foil techniques as well as fusing and slumping.
Whether you desire an architectural installation, accessories like a lamp or light vessel, a piece of stained glass art for your personal collection, colorful tableware, or a very special gift, we can create something original. Client needs and interests are central to our design and fabrication process. While it is advantageous to discuss a window project before new construction, we also fabricate to fit existing windows.

For Contemporary Stained Glass Border MirrorMy mirrors are stunning. Working with Mary Ann and Jay was a delight from the beginning of the project until the end. They offered me many options and stayed in touch with me to design a beautiful creation. I highly recommend them.
For Custom Made Chandelier
Excellent! They came to my house to see the room, were right on time, sent me samples of the stained glass and pictures of their design, and delivered and hung the lamp themselves... all for a reasonable price! They were very nice also.
