History
In 1982 when my dad retired from the sheet metal business, he and my mother started a small business in the Historic La Villita district, just steps from the Riverwalk. He loved making stained glass and created many beautiful panels, kaleidoscopes, sun catchers and candle boxes. Their journey lasted for many years until my dad was sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I took over when my parents were unable to continue and although I do not create stained glass, I continued their love of glass. I am a bead maker also know as lampworking. I have a number of local artists' work in the store now, some of which specialize in mosaic, stained glass lamps, fusing, dichroic crosses and jewelry. My studio is located in the shop and you often can find me creating my next bead there!
