Our story
The story behind Designs Stained Glass
01 How it started
I am fascinated with stained glass.
I started taking classes 25 years ago, making small suncatchers and night lights. Soon I was creating panels for my family, my friends and my home.
I now have a fully stocked studio in my home, where I spend many hours creating custom orders and new pieces for my online shop and the artisans shop The Hen House in Chepachet, Rhode Island.
I create everything you see by myself. I design many of the patterns, take my own photos, and do the promoting and packaging. And I love the whole process.

Stained glass suncatchers and ornaments, framed pressed flowers, personalized sympathy gifts and small panels, each one handmade in my home studio.
- Designed. Many of the patterns are my own designs.
- Grown & pressed. Pressed flower pieces use flowers I grow, press and dry myself.
- Handmade. Every piece is cut, soldered and finished in my home studio.
