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.

    Vince 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!

    This 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!

    Vince has great to work with. After doing a quick random Google Search, I was drawn to Vince and he proved to be an excellent choice. His responses to my emails were immediate and thorough. He designed a gift for me to give a couple who performed CPR on me after suffering from Cardiac Arrest. He loved the idea of the gift and came up with a wonderful idea for a sun catcher. Vince sent frequent updates and pictures as he was working on the project. At the conclusion of the project, a picture was sent, details of how the sun catcher was to be sent, payment method, etc. upon receiving the sun catcher, I was even happier than before if possible. I liked it so much I ordered another for me. Vince, THANK YOU!

    Vince made me a wonderful glass box that I could give my wife for Christmas. I had a limited budget and Vince patiently worked with me until I was happy with both design and price. Prompt professional responses and patience were constant throughout the process on Vince's side. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vince Rinner and Glass Art For The World to anyone looking for a beautiful custom stained glass piece.

    Vince was able to create a beautiful piece for me, and I cannot wait to gift it! He was very prompt with his responses and quickly turned my idea into a proposal for a 10" suncatcher and had the piece in the mail within a week - cannot recommend his services more. The packaging he sent with the piece was substantial as well - I believe the chances of it breaking in shipment would be close to zero. Thanks again!

    Vince is incredible to work with. His work is absolutely beautiful, creative, and truly, a work of art. And Vince himself is wonderful--communicative, flexible, and creative. We're beyond happy with our decision to go with Vince to create custom products. You won't regret hiring him!

    I started out this project thinking I wanted something wood or metal. Vince sent me a proposal for a stained glass piece which I hadn't considered. He made the effort to go to my company website and send me samples of his work that would be relevant with his vision for how this could be. I was impressed. We worked through the idea and design process and he communicated regularly through the whole process. Very timely response and flexible to my requests. Couldn't have made this process any easier for me - and having the vision to see what I didn't even imagine to be possible is really what I appreciate (I'm not artsy). Thank you Vince! The piece came out perfect and I can't wait to present it to the recipient. You can't go wrong using Vince!

    If you are looking for a one of a kind, extremely cool piece of art Vince at Glass Art for the World may be exactly what you are looking for. Through custommade.com I was able to pitch an idea of a Rush Time Machine Tour clock. Vince took my ideas and added several of his own and produced something really special. I was really happy with the finished product and the whole process. Obviously highly recommended!

    I would recommend Vince for ANY project, small or large! He was able to take a picture which had great significance and duplicate it into a splendid suncatcher! I also had the choice of a more costly version which had much more detail, or a less costly version with less detail. He was SO PATIENT as I made my decision, and went out of his way to ensure he created exactly what my family & I wanted. He was so reliable with feedback, and responded swiftly, answering all of my questions with humor, approachability and pure knowledge!! He took many pictures of the finished products, from all angles and in many settings, ensuring we were happy with the finished product. He even allowed me to share personal information about the person it was being created for so that he could put his positive energy & intentions into the product. This was so comforting, as the suncatcher was for the loss of a sister, and the photo was of her last trip with her husband, so the gift was able to relay such personal meaning. I was even able to include a personal note to be sent with the finished product. I will DEFINITELY use Vince Rinner to help create personal gifts in the future :))

    Thank you Vince for the nice price you put together in memory of our son Justin. You were timely in your responses and always offers your professional opinion . I’m glad you suggested an circle about him. It was what I envisioned Crtique: I’m not computer savvy so found replying and navigating a bit frustrating . Thank you gor giving us another remembrance ... It would be hard for me to articulate what Justin meant to our community and his friends, Just picture all the Angels and Saints singing for him as he is lifted to his new home . God Bless, and thank YOU!!!!!

    Vince was fantastic during this entire process, he was incredibly helpful with ideas and suggestions to make my vision a reality and kept in constant communication to let me know the status of the project and to answer any questions or concerns. I cannot thank him enough for helping me to celebrate our 30th anniversary with such a spectacular gift.

    I had probably an odd request, to make a stained glass replica of my nursing school pin. Vince took time to ask more about the project, and what I was trying to accomplish, which was central to having such a wonderful finished product. I could not be happier with the result

    Communication with Vince was easy and quick. He helped me narrow down what I wanted and made suggestions on how to keep the price reasonable. Vince got the finished gift done in plenty of time for the occasion when it would be presented. Shipping took several days longer than expected (though nothing to do with Vince!) and the sun catcher arrived safely wrapped.

    Hello! We just got our stained glass heart today and it is absolutely amazing! My wife loves it and that is the most important thing to me. The design is perfect, the communication between us was very smooth, and delivery was literally right on time. Two minutes before she came home from work, I was saying “have a safe drive” to the FedEx deliveryman. We are enjoying it as we speak and as we eat lol. Thank you Vince, you were very professional and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
