An independent studio - Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas

Light, held in lead and glass

Victorian and antique-inspired stained glass, handcrafted by me in my Fort Worth studio.

I choose glass for its color, texture, and the way it carries light. Each panel brings those qualities together in a composition inspired by Victorian and antique windows.

The maker

A one-woman stained glass studio

I am the owner and maker behind Shadow Glass Designs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I work alone in my studio, handling every stage myself, from developing the design and selecting the glass, to cutting, assembling, soldering, and finishing each panel by hand.

My work is inspired by Victorian and turn-of-the-century windows, with their graceful lines, considered proportions, and rich combinations of color and texture. I bring that same attention to the glass and the details of every piece I handcraft.

Commission work

Artwork built around you

Share your window dimensions, favorite colors, textures, and visions. I will create heirloom artwork made around you.

Inquiries

Tell me about your window, the light it receives, and the colors, textures, or details you have in mind. I will discuss the scope and budget with you before design work begins.

Design elements

I create a design for your space, considering the proportions, pattern, and glass layout. You can review the design with me before work begins on the project.

Glass choices

I guide you through glass choices, considering color, texture, transparency, and cost. Your preferences help shape the final selection.

Build and delivery

I cut, assemble, solder, and finish, and ship your panel myself. Completion dates will vary depending on my production schedule. I will confirm the expected timeframe and delivery arrangements with you for your particular project.

Seasonal work

Halloween in stained glass

Once a year, Shadow Glass Designs takes a darker turn. A playful side of my glasswork, with smaller Halloween-themed selections available in my Etsy shop and coming with me to ArtsGoggle this October. Each piece is made in limited quantities.
