The interior designer for the circa-1900 house wondered what we could do with a six-sided window in a doorway on the landing of a stairwell to the basement. He wished to improve the looks of the stairway which leads from the main hall. The designer wanted an Art Deco theme and the owners asked us to maintain visibility to a lovely patio. Our solution is a leaded stained glass window featuring a Calla lily and incorporating white, green, and yellow opalescent glass with clear glass. Delicate color in the non-transparent glass draws any eye glancing into the stairway and the graceful design frames the outdoor view visible through the clear sections. This elegant window transforms a utilitarian space and makes a natural transition from house to garden.

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.

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.
