Our studio is located in downtown Davenport, Iowa,
USA. We are a fully accredited studio member of the Stained Glass
Association of America, and we specialize in glass art, architectural
art glass work and religious windows. We are certified in the
restoration and preservation of historic stained
glass.
We offer complete restoration services and custom
stained glass work for site specific applications.
Our restoration specialists have been trained in
the intricate level of care required for the restoration of historic
stained glass, and certified in lead safe working practices. We have
restored and replicated glass from as early as the 1860s (Clay County
Court House), to original Frank Lloyd Wright windows from the Park Inn
Hotel in Mason City, Iowa. (We not only restored 2 of his original
window panels, we also replicated 10 French door panels from the same
Hotel, using copies of the original FLW blueprints supplied to us, for
use in its historic restoration).
We have designed and fabricated glass art for a large variety of
locations, including ecclesiastical, commercial and residential. Glass
work by our staff can be found in 31 states and 9 foreign countries.
Assisting Churches, architects, designers, builders, homeowners, and
businesses in enhancing their environment designs with glasswork is
what we enjoy. Our glass art is designed to add a new dimension and
meditative quality to your space.
We pride ourselves in our use of a variety of glass genres: stained,
leaded, painted glass and mosaics in traditional methods; fused,
slumped (bent), etched, and blown glass; and an incorporation of these
forms either individually or in a mixed media piece. Our artists and
craftsmen are devoted to working with you to create pieces specifically
for you and your environment. With over 45 years of combined
experience, our glass craftsmen can translate your design concept into
a glasswork of quality and distinction. We hope you will allow Glass
Heritage to be your Glass Art solution.
With a studio space containing a 3500 sq ft stained glass work shop, a
hot pad, with a 300# Stadalman furnace, 2 fusing kilns, sandblast glass
etching & carving cabinet and room, and 8 complete work table
spaces for leaded glass commissions and restorations, we can
accommodate glass work of any scope. Not only do we have the facilities
for restoration work, but we also have the necessary knowledge,
training and certification for the restoration and preservation of
historic stained glass.
