Ongoing projects, classes in the shop, art in the world and more!

Art in the Shop: Residential Lighting in Minneapolis

I love working with clients and pro craftspeople to find the perfect color and style for the interior spaces they love. In this project we designed new UL listed escutcheon hardware to rectify a misaligned lighting array. Now new beautiful glass is centered on their dining room table!

Artist in the World: Ray Schoch

Ray Schoch is a Minneapolis based stained glass artist. His work pulls inspiration from a variety of sources, yet abstract shapes and pattern work is a repeated style throughout each piece.
