Mosaic Backsplash
Here is a mosaic backsplash for customers kitchen. They wanted it modeled after a plate they got in Barcelona in the Gaudi style. This was done with traditional stained glass that was cut into shapes, fired in a kiln to soften the edges to mimic ceramic tile edges. I can make just about any design and prepare it for your tile person to install. Pricing depends on complexity and size.

Vince Rinner
Glass Art for the World
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.

Jul 11, 2017Vince was all we could have hoped for - he repaired a piece that we could not replace and it looks just like new. We would definitely use him again and refer him to anyone.

Jul 16, 2021I give Glass Art for the World 2 thumbs up and A+++. My custom piece turned out exactly as described to the artist. He kept in frequent contact every step of the way during the process and asked my opinion on any needed adjustments. He accommodated my request to hold on shipping while I was out of town, and shipped on the exact day I asked. Couldn't have asked for a better transaction! Love, love, love the piece Vince made!
