| Kaleidoscope Glass Works custom designs and creates stained glass cathedral windows. KGW has been providing the highest quality custom liturgical art glass for all denominations since 1974. We work almost exclusively in the traditional style of stained and fired leaded glass. This allows for much more detail than simply cutting and leading together colored glass as it comes from the manufacturer. This process, while very skill and labor intensive, gives a wonderful three dimensional aspect to the finished piece. From the initial design in watercolor to the final installation, each step requires skillful precision. Click on the thumbnail photos below to see larger views of some of these steps. | ||
