How we Differ from other Stained Glass shops
I am a small, one man operation based in Des Moines, Iowa. I am proud to offer custom crafted stained glass signs, large mosaic stained glass wall art & some stunning 3D stained glass pieces. What sets my shop apart from other glass shops? I blend modern tech with classic stained glass techniques to create truly original pieces of glass art.
The process begins with creating my own custom designs using 3D mechanical design software. I then use those 3D design files to 3D print the patterns that the glass pieces are then hand cut from. All of these cut glass pieces are then assembled & finished using classic stained glass techniques.
This proprietary process allows me to create completely custom & unique 2D & 3D glass pieces for people that love stained glass as much as I do!

3D Design & Conceptualization
We use 3D mechanical design software to create our designs which allows us to fully explore a concept in a digital medium. This gives us the ability to easily edit & adjust the design & scale until it's the perfect fit for our customer.

3D Design & Conceptualization
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.
