If you’re here, you know what it’s like. From your first successful snap of the glass, you were hooked. I know the feeling, nowadays they have support groups for folks like us!

One of the best parts of my 40+ year career has been the actual benchwork itself. The crafting of the panel has always been more important to me than any other part of the job. I’ve designed windows… Big, expensive windows, but no matter the design or exquisite painting, if the standards of the Master Craftsmen aren't upheld, all of our ancient crafts will surely die.

So, surely after being a "stained glass guy" for the last 40+years, it turns out I was only in training to become a teacher, and I've never been happier.
