TEAM MENTALITY
We partner with you for iterative design

PAINTED
Custom for your project
We're trained in glass painting, and are ready to partner with you on real life photos, animals and landscapes
APPRAISAL
Have your glass appraised for insurance purposes, or for maintenance costing
Stain glass bends and slumps over time, it's metal joinery decays with exposure to water. If you have antique glass we can appraise it's current value for insurance and repair costs
ST. JAMES CATHOLIC CHURCH
Thank you to the congregation of St. James Catholic Church Calgary AB for their patronage, it's our pleasure to share their story with you.
Working Together on The Vision
Iterative Design
St. James Catholic Church worked with us on a design perfect for their sacred space. A modern design of eucharistic colours, matched with a hand painted dove at the centre of a golden triangle of the trinity.
Choosing the perfect glass
Making Dreams a Reality
Colour design for stained glass is incredibly important. Most shops don't have the necessary equipment or reagents to colour the glass themselves. Have a keen eye, and try and read for the light that will come through the glass. Think about the core component of your art and how to enhance it through texture, opacity, and colour.
Assembly
She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. Proverbs 31:17
This is a labour intensive process, but the care we have for the art reads through into the final project. We can't wait to share the art of stained glass with you.
Installation
Designed to last for generations
It was our greatest pleasure to have these windows ready for the Easter celebration at St. James Catholic Church in 2018. Thank you to the congregation and Fr. Edmunds.
All of our windows come with formal appraisals and professional installors.

WHAT CAN I CREATE
We want to match your inspiration and budget
We can start with an idea or a concrete plan and fit the glass to your budget. There are structural limitations, but if you have seen a stained glass window that is similar to what you want, then it's possible.
