An Introduction

Welcome to our latest edition to the website. We plan on keeping this updated with information on current projects and stained glass news in general.

If you haven't stopped by the studio in a while, you might be surprised if you do. We moved! Our new place is much larger. For the first time we have a sizeable showroom, plenty of office space, a nice conference room, extra parking... it goes on and on. It's a wonderful place to work in and it's perfect for visitors too, so by all means come and see us, we'll be happy to show you around.

It's been a busy year so far. Back on April 5th Chuck received the Art Glass Association 2008 Lifetime achievement Award. It was awarded at the Glass and Bead Expo in Las Vegas. Previewing at that convention was the new book about our studio published by Wardell Publications entitled Windows of Character & Style (available at most stained glass stores or can be ordered by contacting us).

In June the Glass Art Society had their convention here in Portland and on June 18th we were one of the local studios that entertained G.A.S. tours. There were five tours going all day and it was fun showing the studio to fellow glass enthusiasts.

Our latest work for McCormick & Schmick's has included restaurants in Anaheim, Washington D.C. (National Harbor), Raleigh NC, Rosemont (Chicago), Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City, and of course, Houston (where our installers actually got to experience Hurricane "Ike"). Currently we are getting
ready for Naples Florida.

In addition to this news blog we've also recently added a new section featuring our sandblasted glass and in the near future we will also be adding an online store. From smaller gift items to larger pieces of glass art, from fused glass to stained glass and sandblasted glass, all will be available for easy purchase and shipping. More to come on this later.
