This custom designed and built stained glass window was made using the copper foil method of stained glass construction.  It was built for a customer in Maryland who wanted the famous Maryland Crab in glass to hang in their summer home on the Maryland Shore.  A green / brown mottled glass was used to mimic the natural look of the crab and it was kept simple by using a clear textured glass to surround the crab and helps highlight the crab.

Basket of Apples pre soldering

The photo above shows a stained glass window in the process of being built and prior to it being soldered together.  The apples and basked are wrapped in copper foil while the grid behind and bordering the window is leaded with lead came.  The project at this stage has been assembled, but none of the glass has been soldered as of yet.

A close up of the apples and basket

This photo shows a close-up of the apples and basket before soldering.

Soldered but not yet finished

The photo shows the stained glass window after it has been soldered together.  Notice the copper foil is no longer visible as it’s been covered with solder and the leaded part (grid and border) has been soldered where the lead came pieces connect only.

The finished stained glass window

This photo shows the finished stained glass window project.  The bright solder has been a deep black “patina” and the window has been framed in zinc and put into a wood frame supplied by the customer.

This stained glass window was designed and built by me in my Bennington Vermont stained glass studio.  If you have a stained glass project in mind, let me know and we can discuss your stained glass project, design, colors and more.

I have been working in my Vermont stained glass studio for 7 years now and I am inspired by the beauty of the area and New England in general.  Let me create a quality stained glass window for your home, office or house of worship.

Have a great day.

Four Panel Stained Glass Window Transom

This four panel stained glass window transom was custom designed and built for a contractors home in the Canton neighborhood of Baltimore Maryland.  Each is a seperate panel, but the pattern flows through the four stained glass windows which have a floral motif.

Close up of one of the four stained glass panels

This close up show that I used the lead method of stained glass construction because these panels are exposed to weather and can withstand decades of snow, rain and sun exposure.

My Vermont stained glass studio is located in Bennington, Vermont, where I design, build and install quality stained glass windows.  I also do repair and restoration work, both in my studio and on-site, depending on the situation.

I have created numerous house transoms for residential and commercial clients and have incorporated all different designs, styles and colors to suite my clients tastes.

This six paneled stained glass window was installed with the help of Anna Croyle, at a church in the Baltimore, Maryland area.  The panels we installed inside custom-made doors, three panels per door that slide open and are located behind the chorus and pulpit of the church.  So every day the congregation sees these panels.

The Pastor had specific ideas and colors he wanted in each panel and we were more than happy to incorporate those themes into the design.  These stained glass windows were designed and built while I had my studio in Baltimore, Maryland.

I have since moved my stained glass studio to Bennington, Vermont where I design and build quality custom stained glass window.   Vermont is where I now call home, but don’t let that stop you from contacting me about your stained glass window project.  I create custom stained glass windows for clients all over North America.   Contact me at joe@glassfusionstudios.com and let’s discuss your stained glass project.

Six Panel Stained Glass Church Windows (Two Doors)

This window was just completed and installed in a home in Hoosick Falls, NY.  It was a custom designed and built window for the customer.  It is called the “Four Seasons” window because it depicts the view the clients have from their home, over the four seasons.  The homeowner needed to construct scaffolding so we could get to the window itself, which wave above the kitchen cabinets at the roof line, it was a tricky install but I’m sure you’ll agree the window came out great.

Before Installation

This is the window with scaffolding prior to installation of the stained glass window.

After Installation

And here is the after photo showing the stained glass window installed.

Custom Stained Glass House Transom

This custom designed and built stained glass window, was built using the lead came method of stained glass construction.  This allows the window to be to the elements and is perfectly suited for use on a homes exterior.

This window was designed and build for a customer in Baltimore, Maryland.  He was renovating his row home and wanted to replace the boarded over transom that was there when he bought the home.

After several years of building windows in my Baltimore, Maryland stained glass studios, I moved to Bennington, Vermont where I design and build quality stained glass windows for home, office or houses of worship.

I can build and install windows for any area of the United States and Canada and other areas upon request.
