Early 1900 Stained Glass Panels Restoration
All of these 1900 panels will be incorporated into a brand-new home being built in Pitt County, North Carolina. The old frames were removed and broken sections were replaced. The lead channel was in good condition, so not necessary to replace the original lead channel, but we did re-cement for waterproofing and making the panels […]
J. Dudley Stained Glass Commission
Two stained glass window panels for a home on the water inspired by the Neuse River and the forest around this home. Daytime and nighttime images show just how important the light plays on these “painterly’” designs. That extra something – hand-made, mouth-blown artisan glass – helps my designs come alive with movement and flow. […]
St. Bartholomew Anglican Church Glass Panel Repair
Uroboros Glass Co. Drapery Glass
This beauty sold today. Being in the “glass business” for over 40 years (where does the time go?), I have seen and worked with a lot of beautiful glass.

1900s British Panels Restoration
Two broken 1900s British panels found their way through my doors. Did I mention I have restored so many of these stained glass panels I have lost count? Do you see how these panels are bending right through the center? Plus the yellow glass has been discontinued as so many hand-made textures of colored glass. […]
1900s English Panel Restored
Restored this 1900s English panel. I have repaired and restored so many of these English panels that I have lost count. Many of the clear glass textures are not available anymore. I do my best to stock up on them as I sometimes find a few in old collections. Next to impossible sometimes. Many of […]
1820s Medallion Panels Restoration
4 Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. These beautiful 1820s medallion panels are hand painted and originally created for a home in Philadelphia. I wish I could take credit for creating them. The firing conditions in the 1800s did not include electric kilns. These were created in a gas-fired environment without knowing the exact temperature. […]
