We got into stained glass as a hobby, but it soon became our passion.  We previously owned Glass Unlimited, a commercial, residential retail window and door store, so after all of our windows at home, our relatives windows got filled up with our stained glass creations, we decided to begin to sell some of our work at Glass Unlimited.  When we started hanging our artwork in the windows we began having inquiries about whether we were going to sell art glass, supplies, and tools.  That is how it all began.  We started by adding a limited amount of glass and supplies to our inventory.  We continued to add our work to the windows.  We added more glass, more tools, more supplies.  Someone asked, " Are you going to teach classes?"  Then someone else asked, and another, and then another.  So, we started teaching classes. We had a ball, and our students had fun while learning a new craft. 

 As a matter of fact, we had so much fun doing stained glass we decided to sell Glass Unlimited and open a new store that focused solely on stained glass.  Our son, Brent, had returned from military service, and wanted to pursue a career in graphic design.  We introduced him to stained glass, and he excelled at it.  He was a natural, and continues to be a natural whether creating a new design, or choosing just the right glass for a panel.  Brent now helps with our classes, works as much as he can while he continues his education at Indiana University Southeast as a fine arts major with a focus on graphic design.

Now we are again teaching classes in our new business.  We have a large classroom with plenty of storage room for our student's use.  We try to keep our classes small.  We like working very closely with the students, and don't want to hold anyone back.  Students begin with a project they feel comfortable with.  Some want to be severely challenged, while others want to take a more limited approach when learning a new craft.   We believe that is the best way to learn, and try to base each class towards the individual.

 We also design and create custom pieces of stained glass art for a wide variety of uses.  We can custom fit to windows, doors, sidelights, cabinets, furniture, etc.  We can design an original pattern, or adapt patterns to meet our client's particular need.  Once a design has been chosen, we can input information into our computer using a program created specifically for the stained glass studio, Glass Eye 2000.  This program enables us to use computer generated renderings of actual glass samples from specific glass manufacturers.  Now, each client will have a fairly accurate representation of their commissioned project.

 We offer a wide variety of art glass, tools and supplies for the stained glass hobbiest or professional.  Handmade stained glass suncatchers and panels, as well as 3 D objects and lamps are available to purchase in our store.  Classes are available so others can learn to create stained glass art.  Studio time is available to those who just need a place to work.
