These panels are some of the designs we have created in ready to hang art. They are 14.5” by 14.5” and have hooks attached to the sides. Add some chain and they are ready to go! These are designed by us and handmade by us for some unique art.
Plus, we do custom!
You can check out our art glass section in the menu above to see more of our art in glass and get inspired by our previous designs.
We have been working on one of our favorites - art glass!
Happy March everyone! We have had lots of rain but we’re given a nice break last Sunday for Oak Gallery’s One year Anniversary and Artist Reception. It was a ton of fun and people went home with a lot of great art! Plus, owner Penny even has a section where you can purchase her photos and greeting cards at Oak Gallery.
Now, we “March” towards Spring and another season of being creative.
Many clients are interested in adding art glass to their home, and we have been doing a lot of designing and creating (and more designing which will lead to more creating!) Art glass is great for mirrors, windows, doors, cabinet doors, shower glass, and more. We even have panels like the bird of paradise that with some chain are ready to hang in front of your window. Come check them out, they are next to our sliding glass door. More will be added, so be sure to check back and follow us on our social media (found below)
2023 is here and we are ready for another year of amazing custom glass and mirror! Check out our gallery below of some of the custom glass, mirror, and art glass projects we did along with repairs.
Happy New Year dear friends of the Shoppe!
We are just into the first week of August and we are just watching this year fly by! Perfect time to enjoy the rest of our longer days on the beach.
So, inspired by summer (an occasionally enjoying air conditioning…) here is a wonderful palm tree and bird of paradise art glass window we did! It just creates a fantastic a view of the beach you may be just a little too inland to see. It is a lovely representation of the area adding more greenery and a touch of color when our clients look out there window. It was wonderful to work on this and we love how it turned out! Plus, it added a nice bit of privacy while still letting the sun come in.
Summer has been in full swing here with warmer temps this week, so we hope everyone has been able to keep cool! This week we have been working on entryway glass door inserts. Last week was cabinet door glass, so this week is the “larger” version for front doors! Plus we do inserts for the sidelites a well to match - or not! Inserts can be clear, tinted, textured, sandblasted, or stained glass/overlay. This provides multiple options of design and privacy. We can also double or triple glaze these units for a stronger exterior glass.
We can also do glass inserts for interior doors - have a porthole, half the door, or even a whole door of art glass. We are here for your design and privacy needs when it comes to glass and mirror.
June has just started and many are getting ready to graduate! It’s a big month right before Summer break (or summer job!) So here’s to new adventures and lets hope sometimes those adventures take you to the beach. We have, however, been enjoying the cool weather from our June gloom, but know the sun is coming!
We’ve been working at the Shoppe and creating lots of custom glass and mirror for our clients. So many things are unique sizes and we are here to provide glass for them in a time where there is no longer the “standard size”. But, while we are customizing glass, why not try for something a little different from the standard clear? We have great textured and privacy glass options that can be used as windows, shower doors, or table tops. Or get a custom design created for you with single stage sandblasted glass. It can even be done on mirrors for a creative looking glass! Plus, we can create traditional stained glass and art glass overlay pieces for a different type of art glass that can also feature colors and bevels. Our designers are here to work with you to create your perfect,custom glass! Contact us today with what you are looking for!
Also, tomorrow is an amazing artist demo at Oak Gallery!
“In this presentation, Diana Shay Diehl will give a brief history of encaustic painting as she demonstrates some basic techniques in using encaustic medium to alter and enhance her photographic work. She will discuss substrates, tools, and important information regarding the safe handling of 150-200 degree melted materials and potentially toxic pigments. Participants should come away with a basic understanding and deeper appreciation of how to view encaustic works.
Encaustic, meaning “to burn in or fuse”, is an ancient painting medium first practiced by Greek artists as far back as the 5th century B.C. Its base is a natural beeswax with damar resins added to give it resiliency. Today, this technique in painting and preservation is gaining popularity again.”

It is the start of the month, hopefully not too many pranks on this Fools Day though! We aren’t the kind of people to make up tricks (which is very believable today…), so we will just talk about art glass!
Our types of art glass are Stained Glass, Stained Glass Overlay, Cast Glass, and Single Stage Sandblasted Glass.
We create custom and unique designs for our clients in these different art glass styles. These options give us a huge variety in privacy levels, colors, clears, textures, and even adding some other multimedia elements! You can check out examples of our work at the links above and see some of our work in the gallery below.
If you are ready to start getting art glass in your home or office, contact us! You can also email or text us if that is easier and you can also include photos of what you have now and maybe some styles you are looking for.
It has been another week of creating with cool and cloudy weather and even a bit of rain! We have been working on art glass and furniture tops this week.
We are creating an underwater scene with plants and creatures for a pair of doors. with the design going from one door to the next. We really enjoy working with our clients to design and create glass that they will enjoy for years to come! You can see some of our work here in our Before and After Gallery page as well as checking out everything in the Art Glass tab above!
And if you need glass tabletops or furniture protectors, you can check out their page here. Glass is great for protecting the tops of furniture from damage, is easier to clean, and you don’t have to use a coaster if you don’t want to! We use tempered glass, recommend at least a 1/4” thickness, and can have a Flat Polished or Pencil Polished edge.
Many people have spent some more time in the kitchen during this pandemic. Many new recipes were created and tried, plenty of sourdough baked, and maybe getting creative with leftovers. While being at home more, our clients are possibly noticing more things that need some kind of glass. We have had more clients updating their cabinet doors with glass inserts. These can range from clear glass so you can see all of your cute mugs, to a distorting texture, to completely obscuring the view with art glass. Our cabinet door section on our website here has more information and photos of work we have done.
Check out the gallery below for some of the custom work we have done. If you have a unique design in mind, let us know! Our designers love creating for our clients and strive to make your ideas become reality!
It has been over a year, but in California we can go back to theme parks this month! We would love to make an art glass roller coaster themed panel - not something you see too often and our designers LOVE unusual and creative requests! For those curious, we have a lot of our art glass on this site, but you can check out Art Glass Overlay here and see our site dedicated to all the art glass we do! Get inspired, see our work, and let us know how we can add art glass to your life!
Art glass covers many things- not just stained glass, but also lead and bevel, cast glass, and sandblasted glass.
Stained glass and lead and bevel (or leadlight) are in the same realm as far as art glass goes and have many overlaps. We think of stained glass as colorful, but it can just feature clear glass and lead lines such as leadlight along with including clear bevels (as lead and bevel implies). Sometimes this is called clear stained glass. This overlap can be confusing, but just let us know what you are looking for and we can create something to match your needs.
Cast glass takes a super heated sheet of glass and presses it into a mold. The designs are pressed into the glass leaving their detailed depressions. We have options of repeating cast glass designs, or we can create custom scenes in clear glass. These make amazing doors for showers or offices.
Sandblasted glass is glass etched with a high powered blast of sand. There will be a frosted design with glass or mirror as the negative space or vise versa. These are great for logos or signs, family crests, floral designs, unusual designs, and more. Our designers work with our clients to create the designs that will be used for sandblasting, which means we can create anything that looks good as a silhouette on your glass or mirror.
Art glass is our designers passion and where owner Penny started in the glass world (35+ years of experience!) But don’t think our designs are stuck in the past - we pay homage to the classics, create modern works, create weird works, and create what our clients love in glass!
