The Glass Studio, Toronto

After 38 years of creating custom art glass, we've made the decision that the timing was right to close The Glass Studio and make a graceful exit. A profound thank you to our thousands of clients. Although the studio is now closed, it's not too late to own one of our original art glass windows. Our studio showroom was filled with examples of our best stained glass and etched glass and they're now available for sale through this website. Click the images below for details, sizes and prices.
