Frequently Asked Questions

Will you accept any custom order?
As I am still learning, I welcome almost any design request. If it is beyond my knowledge, I will express that during the inquiry phase.
What is the custom order process?
Reach out via email, contact form or Instagram DM - let me know your idea, size and color pallette preferences. I will create a design mockup and send over for review. We will finalize details (colors/size) from there. I will provide an appropriate timeline for order turnaround as well.
Can I commission matching pieces?
Of course! I am happy to create complementary designs.

How do I clean stained glass?
Use a soft cloth and mild, non-ammonia glass cleaner or just warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the glass or solder joints.
How often should I clean my stained glass piece?
Clean as needed, depending on dust accumulation, usually every few months.
Should I polish the metal came (lead or zinc)?
If the piece has a metal frame, you can use a gentle polish specifically for that metal, but be cautious not to damage the glass or patina.
How do I maintain the patina on my stained glass?
Avoid scrubbing; just wipe gently with a clean cloth to preserve the finish.

How should I hang my stained glass piece?
Use sturdy chains or wires attached to secure hooks within a window frame/window sill. Do not use suction cups as the temperature of the window and weight of the art are too high of variables for long term security. Avoid weak adhesives or inadequate hardware.
Where is the best place to display stained glass?
Near a window for optimal light effects, but avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading over time.
Can I install stained glass in my windows?
Yes, but it’s best done by a professional to ensure proper fit and insulation.

Will sunlight damage the stained glass?
Over time, UV rays can cause some colors to fade. Consider using UV-blocking window film if prolonged exposure is a concern.
Is stained glass weatherproof?
Most pieces are weather-resistant but should not be left exposed to harsh outdoor elements unless specifically designed for outdoor use.

What should I do if a piece of glass breaks?
You may reach out to me to see our options or you may consider contacting a local professional stained glass artist or restorer in your area to repair the damage. Avoid DIY fixes, as they can worsen the damage.
How long will the solder or lead came last?
With proper care, stained glass can last decades or even centuries. Regular inspection for wear or corrosion is key.
