These exquisite reproductions are created by artists who have been selected to reproduce the stained glass treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Folger Shakespeare Library, The National Gallery of Art, The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and others.

The process is a slow one, and skill intensive.  The artists begin with meticulously executed drawings.  The glass cutters work with European-made cathedral or other fine glass for the application of exclusively formulated enamels.  Each enamel is applied, cooled and inspected - one color at a time - up to as many as twenty-two times.

The kiln master fires the design, which reaches temperatures of nearly 1100 degrees Fahrenheit.  The enamels become permanently fused into the glass, and are guaranteed to be as transparent and vibrant a century from now as they are today.
