Hi I’m Jake

My journey with stained glass started with a simple fascination: the way light can transform a piece of glass into something alive. What began as curiosity quickly grew into a full-blown passion, and before long, I found myself chasing new designs, colors, and techniques every chance I could. For me, stained glass isn’t just about making pretty things — it’s about creating moments of surprise, joy, and connection.

In the studio, I thrive on experimentation. I love exploring bold palettes, unexpected textures, and playful designs that push beyond traditional stained glass. Sometimes the process is meticulously planned, and sometimes it’s wonderfully spontaneous — either way, every piece feels like its own adventure. Collaborations with friends and fellow creatives are especially meaningful to me; they bring in fresh perspectives, unexpected challenges, and often lead to some of my favorite finished works.

What I enjoy most is the balance between elegance and edge — the idea that stained glass can be timeless but also rebellious, classic yet full of personality. From delicate ornaments to larger statement pieces, I try to let each creation carry its own story while still feeling distinctly “me.”

Outside of the technical craft, stained glass is my way of spreading light — literally and figuratively. I want my pieces to brighten spaces, spark smiles, and maybe even start a conversation. At the end of the day, it’s not just glass and solder; it’s a little piece of myself, shared with you.
