How We Are Different from other shops
We are a small operation based in Des Moines, IA that create a variety of large custom 2D mosaic wall art & 3D glass pieces. What sets us apart from other glass shops? We blend modern tech with classic stained glass techniques to create truly original pieces of glass art. The process starts with creating our own custom designs using 3D design software. We then use those 3D design files to 3D print the pattern pieces that the glass is hand cut from. All of these cut glass pieces are then assembled using classic stained glass techniques. This proprietary process allows us to create completely unique 2D & 3D glass pieces for people that love stained glass as much as we do!

How Fahajitah Studios Creates
3D Design & Conceptualization
Using 3D mechanical design software to create our designs allows us to fully explore a concept in a digital medium. This gives us the ability to easily edit & adjust the design until it's absolutely perfect for our customer.
3D Printed Glass Patterns
Using the digital design files we create, we are able to 3D print the pattern pieces that the glass will be cut from. This gives us an incredible level of precision in a reusable pattern that can be used for multiple runs.
Classic Stained Glass Techniques
Using classic stained glass techniques like burnishing, soldering, twisted copper wire & tinning we are able to transform that initial digital design into a lasting work of exceptional stained glass art.
