I discovered my passion for stained glass by accident at the tail end of a 20 year career working as a visual effect compositor for the feature film industry. I fell in love with the Victorian homes in San Francisco when I lived in the lower Haight district, near Golden Gate Park, more Victorian homes in Wellington, New Zealand and again when I was living in London: neighborhoods like Primrose Hill, Holland Park and Maida Vale brought me back to a past where stained glass was a usual fixture of every home and main door entrance.
#STAINED GLASS DESIGN STUDIO SAN LEANDRO WINDOWS#
I remember drawing detailed images of cathedrals and houses in grade school, and then again when I took art courses in college, noticing how stained glass windows and accents added so much interesting detail and character, enhancing the architectural value of buildings. I’ve always had a fascination with architecture, specifically Victorian homes. Personalized, private instruction is also available. I've recently added a kiln to my repertoire so that I may offer both kiln work as well as glass enamel painting. I can design and/or create customized gifts such as jewelry boxes or personalized sun catchers, etc. Furthermore, s tained glass can be much more than a window it is also a beautiful medium for artistic expression. I have a strong background in design and color can help create something custom for you. While my studio is just outside of downtown Buffalo, NY, I am happy to work with you for any out of town orders or projects.
Fran has taken me under his wing, showing me his trade secrets from 40+ years of being in the business for repair and restoration as well as new builds. I have been fortunate enough to apprentice with Fran Matusak at Jacob's Stained Glass in Elmwood Village. I specialize in custom stained glass windows for home or office as well as repair and restoration. Abeille Glassworks (ah-bay-'l) is a stained glass studio located in Buffalo, NY.
