Ocean Theme Stained Glass Window
"In for the Swim" depicts playful dolphins who know how to enjoy life. They out-maneuver sharks and don't bother with carp. Leaders and business people love this window as much as those who enjoy nature and the seashore. This unusual window features clear glass contrasting with gorgeous rippled opalescent glass. The dolphins are made of clear mouth-blown glass with large bubbles, an elegant but also playful glass. The shark and carp are depicted by two different kinds of machine-made textured clear glass. The living sea, made of opalescent glass hand-poured in southwestern Pennsylvania, is not just blue and green but streaked with magenta. This three-part window (approximately 33" x 105") is dramatic and textural. It is constructed in the traditional lead came technique and finished by "cementing" which makes it waterproof.

Meet the Maker
Mary Ann And Jay Paulukonis
Paulukonis Studio
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.

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.
