• about stained glass

Architectural glass can enrich the character of any building.  Its translucent and transparent qualities make it a useful and elegant element for dividing space in offices, conference rooms, etc. as well as for windows.  

Stained glass can be made in a wide variety of colors and textures, it can fit into nearly any installation and any location. Traditional, religious-inspired scenes fit perfectly in churches and temples, while geometric patterns complement both modern and classic design.

Contemporary church window may in some ways be closer to those of the early Gothic period. Not easy to identify scenes, they again create a pure atmosphere of light and color, inspiring a contemplative attitude through the transformation of the ordinary into the mystical.

Stained glass, or more appropriate art glass, is all around us today. An explosion of interest in the last 30 years has give rise to many new and imaginative forms of this art. The rise of the individual artist and new technologies have all lead to what is being called A a new golden age in glass. New artists are combining, creating and developing unique new forms and styles every day.

Our location at Belfield Artworks in Reston, Virginia offers a convenient meeting place to see our work and to discuss ideas. We also can arrange to make a presentation at your office.

Although the majority of our projects still have a religious character, we are looking for the opportunity to create art glass for other public buildings. We are interested in contacting architects who have a vision for art glass in their work.
