Redefining Stained Glass:
Faith & Innovation in Art Glass
At Window Creations and Crystal Creek Glass, our story begins with faith, family, and a commitment to craft. For more than 35 years, we’ve served churches and cemeteries with glasswork that inspires, honors, and endures. What began as a small family studio in Northwest Ohio has grown into a leader in stained glass restoration and printed art glass.
Honoring Our Past
Stained glass is more than decoration. For centuries, it has been one of the Church’s most powerful storytellers. Through color and light, windows have proclaimed the Gospel, inspired worshippers, and connected generations of believers. When our family began this journey more than three decades ago, we understood the weight of this tradition. Our mission was clear: restore the artistry and integrity of stained glass in churches across the United States.
Restoration is never just piecing glass together. It requires patience, reverence, and respect for the original artist’s hand. Over the years, we’ve repaired and preserved windows that carry centuries of history and faith. Every lead line, every painted detail, every pane of glass has a story to tell. Treating these elements with care is an act of stewardship. We see ourselves as caretakers of a visual legacy, ensuring the beauty created by those who came before us continues to inspire generations to come.
From small chapels to grand sanctuaries, we’ve been entrusted with windows that embody the faith of entire communities. For us, this work isn’t a contract to fulfill; it’s a responsibility to preserve the Church’s voice through its most enduring art form.
Pioneering the Future Of Stained Glass
While restoration remains central to our work, we’re also exploring new ways stained glass can serve the modern Church. As worship spaces change, so does the need for art that connects heritage with contemporary design. By combining traditional craftsmanship with the versatility of printed glass, we’re opening new possibilities for how faith is expressed in form and artistry.
Custom Stained Glass Windows for Churches
Traditional stained glass will always hold a cherished place in worship. Yet with digitally printed glass, we can expand what is possible. This medium allows for vivid imagery, customizable design, and durable finishes that withstand time and weather. Biblical stories and symbols come to life in striking detail, helping worshippers connect more deeply with their faith.
For churches blending historical windows with contemporary additions, printed glass is the perfect complement. A sanctuary can preserve its heritage while introducing new panels that reflect the identity of today’s community. The result is harmony between old and new, honoring the past while building for the future.
Glass Front Niches for Columbaria
Through Crystal Creek Glass, we extend this vision into cemeteries and memorial gardens. Glass front niches transform spaces once dominated by gray granite into places of warmth and beauty. Custom headstones with printed art glass serve as personal memorials while providing inurnment spaces for cremation urns.
For cemeteries, the addition of glass front columbaria and headstones brings vibrancy and spiritual depth, offering comfort to families while proclaiming the promise of eternal life. Each piece can be personalized with portraits, scripture, or imagery of faith, turning these memorials into lasting testaments of love and hope.
Our Core Principles
The values behind our work are as enduring as the glass itself.
Relationships Built on Trust
For more than 35 years, we’ve built our reputation on trust, integrity, and personal service. As a family-owned studio, we value relationships and treat every project as if it were our own.
Faith Shapes Our Work
Our Christian faith is central to who we are. It shapes the way we work, the standards we uphold, and the care we bring to each project. This work is an expression of worship.
Every Detail Matters
From restoration to printed glass, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of artistry and precision. Every line, color, and detail matters.
Heritage Meets Innovation
Many studios remain devoted solely to traditional stained glass. We preserve that heritage while extending it through modern printed designs for windows and columbaria.
These principles are why so many faith communities choose us as partners in their most meaningful projects.
Let’s Begin the Conversation
If your church is planning new stained glass windows or your cemetery is developing a columbaria garden, we would be honored to partner with you.
