Liturgical Art Glass by V. L. Berthelsdorf
We are sorry, but Kaleidoscope Glass Works is not accepting commissions at this time.
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 1972. 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 gives a wonderful three dimensional aspect to the finished piece.
