This custom stained glass commission is mounted in a pair of residential office doors. The contemporary style is enhanced by the use of lead came in different sizes. The clear textured glasses used in the outer part of the design are more private and the clear textured glasses used in the inner portion are less private, as per the clients' request. These panels are constructed with lead came and zinc came. The use of zinc around the outer edges and in many of the interior lines allows these panels to be quite strong without having to use steel reinforcement bars, which would spoil the design.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been making stained glass for 50 years, since I took it up as a hobby at the age of eleven. I have been a full-time stained glass artist since 1975. I've won numerous awards for both my design and my craftsmanship.
I have completed commissions throughout the U.S. and Canada, and shipped my ready-made artworks as far as Dublin, Ireland. I also teach my unique methodology for making precision stained glass in a 43-hour set of DVDs, and I have sold hundreds of these sets in 15 countries so far.
As a visual artist, I invite you to view my images and compare the design and craftsmanship for yourself. Whether you are considering the purchase of an already-made stained glass artwork or commissioning new custom stained or beveled glass, I am confident that I can address both your desires and needs.
