About Our Stained Glass Artists and Artisans

Our artists and craftsmen train for up to 10 years to become certified in the art of “Scottish Stained Glass.” Very few artists become certified, but those who have mastered the process and are capable of producing breathtakingly beautiful stained, etched, textured and leaded glass panels, proudly bear their certification. The dedication and attention to detail required from our artisans goes far beyond that normally required to produce ordinary stained glass. The difference is the accuracy of the cutting and soldering along with meticulous attention to detail in both design and manufacturing. Artists can often spend weeks working on a single piece of stained, etched, leaded or beveled glass, and the results – the likes of which will rarely be seen elsewhere – will literally last for a many lifetimes.

History

The power of light streaming through translucent colored glass has graced churches and cathedrals for centuries. The design and creation of windows using colored, beveled, etched or textured glass is an ancient art form that dates back at least as far the first century A.D.

One of the oldest examples of a window with multiple colored glass pieces was discovered at St. Paul’s Monastery in England, which was founded in 686 AD.

The Gothic age produced the great works in the cathedrals of Europe; and gorgeous examples of the art of colored and leaded glass windows can be found in the Middle Ages and Medieval times, through the Renaissance. And skilled designers and artisans are still creating masterpieces today! Indeed, with the exception of some upgrades and innovations, and our own unique approach to cutting, joining and soldering the materials, we practice this ancient art not that differently from our comrades of old. But our masterpieces are no longer available only to great churches or houses of royalty, but to any homeowner or building owner who desires beauty crafted from light in their surroundings.
