I love to make custom one-off stained glass pieces. Even if I try and make the same thing twice they are never truly the same.
Since as long as I can remember, I've always liked building and creating things. I've never been able to consider myself an artist until I started working with stained glass. I could never draw anything other than straight lines with the help of a ruler, painting only if I copied it from something else. But mechanical things always came easy to me. Taking a piece of raw steel, some wire, glass, rubber and plastic and making something with a purpose, taking individual pieces that meant nothing by themselves and creating something that did something other than just look pretty on the wall, something that moved, something that transformed energy into something else. I found that working with glass does this to me.
Tell me your story, tell me why you want your art piece made, give me inspiration to make something that will continue your story for all those that see our work.

For Stained Glass - SuncatchersThe only thing is that the loop and chain to hang the stained glass is just a tad off-center, so it hangs slightly crooked.

For glass suncatcherVince was wonderful, in a word! He was easy to talk with, kept me informed with pictures of each step of this project. He cares. Wanted to know the 'story', which helps him in his craft, and it shows. I saw the final picture of this sun catcher before he sent it, but once I received it, I couldn't believe how PERFECT it is! Even more beautiful than the pictures. I will definitely recommend Vince to my friends & encourage them to view his work. Thank you so, soooo much, Vince!

For Stained Glass - SuncatchersVince was easy to work with. I gave him my ideas and he offered me his including the limitations of the material. He offered a great compromise and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I recommend that you give Vince the creative license do your project, you will not be disappointed. The timeliness and shipping/delivery issues were due to the carrier and the holiday season and not at all due to Vince. He got my project out before the estimated ship date and it was well packaged for the trip cross country.

For Stained Glass - SuncatchersThis was a Christmas gift for my husband. He was speechless when he saw the sun catcher - Sand Point, Alaska Seal. Vince Rinner was wonderful to work with. He kept me informed every step of his progress. We have this Sun Catcher hanging in our front window - looks amazing! I highly recommend Vince to everyone. I will be working with him again. Thank you Vince!
