TO S CAN E
We create decorative panels of glass
featuring the traditional techniques of
painting with grisaille, enamels, and
silver stain, which has been used for
centuries in many of the great
European cathedrals.
Since the materials and techniques
have not changed, we are able to
carry on the tradition and quality, of
masterful stained glass. This is
especially important when the studio
has done restoration work.
With ever-changing styles and tastes,
the studio has incorporated ancient
and modern techniques, like fusing
and grisaille, in past work.
