New Church Stained Glass Project: St. Edward’s Church

We’re excited to announce the recent completion of our newest church stained glass project over in Pennsylvania. St. Edward’s Church was interested in finding the right studio to create a memorial piece in order to pay tribute to their pastor that had passed. They wanted to replace the existing large window in their main observatory that overlooked the main street so they could conceal it during service. After interviewing several different artists and studios, they decided to choose our studio for their project.
The Custom Church Stained Glass Process for St. Edward’s Church
Since this took place over the pandemic, much of the design process relied on online technology. We created different versions of the tree of life for the church to review. During the design review process, we picked up on something Father Rick mentioned – he was interested in designing another piece someday with his favorite Biblical teaching, Jesus on the Sea of Galilee. We wanted to create an iteration of this and decided to present it to the church. They fell in love with design and had it funded by donors. We achieved a three-dimensional look through painting and added a bit of diversity among the other figures that were with Jesus. We also wanted to symbolize the calm after the storm through the depiction of calm waters. Despite some installation challenges, we successfully created this larger-than-life piece.

Featured Local Church Stained Glass Restoration Project

We’re humbled to announce that we’ve completed our featured local church stained glass project. The Rising Church was built in 1913 in Arvada, CO. Beloved by the community for its incredible homeless outreach, the church housed stunning original stained glass windows. One night after the church had closed, someone walking by had thought they could hear someone or something from inside of the property. They decided to throw rocks through the windows in order to stop the incident. However, no one was inside luckily but the damage had been done.
The Church Stained Glass Restoration for the Rising Church In Arvada
We began with an on-site assessment of the church and found that 90% of the windows had been damaged. These were brought back to our studio in order for proper preservation. We soaked them in our proprietary solution for about two weeks in order to easily take them apart and remove all the dirt and dust from over the last century. New glass from our inventory and custom glass blowing was created for a perfect match of the damaged pieces. We then disposed of all the lead and replaced with new lead for sound structural integrity. The challenge with this project was that many of the windows were missing lead in the first place in order to make them fit the window frames. We resized the windows, reinstalled them, added a protective vented polycarbonate exterior layer, and repainted the exterior framing.
