about stained glass

Restoration and repair work can be performed on both lead came windows and Tiffany Style(copper foil method) lampshades, windows, decorative panels and lightcatchers.

Albright Glass Studio(AGS) items designated as "Custom" work are designed and built by artist Doug Albright. Where noted items are limited editions or one of a kind custom creations.

Doug works in both the Tiffany Style or copper foil and lead came methods.

Tiffany(or copper foil) Style: typically used for lampshades, smaller windows & decorative panels, lightcatchers and other decorative items. A copper foil tape is applied to the edge of each piece of glass and the glass soldered together.

Lead Came method: typically used for larger windows.

Lead came is fitted around each piece of glass and each joint is soldered. Glazier's compound is then applied to fill and seal the gaps between the lead and glass.

Stained Glass will add that extra special touch to your Home, Business, Church or other organization.
Stained glass makes a unique gift for the special people in your life.

Each piece of glass is unique. Glass varies even across individual sheets of glass. Most pieces displayed on this site are available in a variety of glass colors and textures. Each item will be unique as glass selections will vary based on your choices, Doug's selections of glass and the inherent variations within the glass.
