Porch Stories

Porch Stories are a collection of custom stained glass works, each with its own unique narrative. These pieces are not just art. They are stories captured in glass, showcasing the range and originality that can be achieved in this medium. Stained glass has its own special properties and limitations, but within those boundaries lies a world of creative possibilities.

Imagine being invited over for an informal visit, where you can explore the beauty and intricacy of stained glass up close. Each piece in the Porch Stories collection is different, reflecting the individuality and creativity of its design. Whether it’s a vibrant depiction of nature, an abstract pattern, or a scene from everyday life, each work tells a story that resonates with its viewer.

Stained Glass – A Medium

Stained glass is a medium that combines color, light, and texture in a way that few other art forms can. The interplay of light through colored glass creates a dynamic and ever-changing display, bringing each piece to life in a unique way. The limitations of the medium, such as the need for structural support and the properties of the glass itself, challenge the artist to think creatively and push the boundaries of what can be achieved.

When you commission a custom piece, you are not just getting a beautiful work of art; you are getting a piece that is tailored to your personal story and preferences. The process begins with a conversation, where we discuss your vision and ideas. From there, we work together to create a design that captures the essence of what you want to convey.
