We are through a major part of our remodel with our new sliding glass doors, a brand new wall, new furniture, and new paint! It has been quite a journey and we want to thank Penny, Brandy, Gary, Juan, and everyone else that helped and worked hard on this project! We are so happy to have this new space to create our art glass in while also being your local glass and mirror distributor.

Now, since we put in a new wall down the middle of the shop, you may be wondering what is on the other side…

Well, we are happy yo announce it is the future home of Oak Gallery by our wonderful Brandy Sebastian! This photo gallery will feature unique art, classic cameras, and events. You can find out more information and follow the Oak Gallery Instagram here.

Shoppe Closed Through 10/26 for Remodel - Please Read

We will be closed until Tuesday 10/26 for our remodel - it is an important part so we need some time for the safety and convenience of our guests to continue our improvements. If you need to pick up glass or mirror, please email use at GlassAndMirror@iCloud.com to arrange a pick up. You can also email us for quotes and we will get back to you during this time.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to see you at the newly upgraded Shoppe in the near future!

Happy September everyone!

We are looking forward to the weather to cool down soon, but know it will still be a bit in Southern California! We have been working on a lot of repairs this week as this has been a common project for us. Repairing glass and glass items is rewarding to us as we get to fix things that are important to our clients!

Check back on our blog in the coming weeks as we will have some creative changes coming in the future!

Hello fans of the Glass and Mirror Shoppe and Art Glass Overlay! We shared this recently on our Facebook page, but Wikipedia has a fabulous read on the history glass - something humans have been creating for thousands of years! As lovers of history and glass, it is a fascinating read and you can learn things like when clear glass was created (as the first glass was not!). You can check out the page here: History of Glass

We have quite a history of our own with glass - owner Penny has 40 years of experience in it! This gives her and us a lot of knowledge and experience with all types of glass. This is part of why we are able to off glass for so many different things - windows, showers, repairs, wind breaks, and more. We want to stand by our “Excellence in Glass’ and work hard to keep our clients satisfied.

Feel free to contact us by call, text, or email for any questions or quotes. We can pick your brain while you pick ours on your glass or mirror project!

The cool weather has been holding out here in Carlsbad! We have been working with our clients on their glass and mirror needs, and working on our website to highlight all at can do! Check back for more new upcoming pages including some helpful how to's and art glass as functional glass.

While you're here, check out our new page for Sandblasted Glass here. We use a single stage sandblasting process to create etched designs in glass OR mirror! Logos, decals, names, creatures and more can be added to your glass! Have a bathroom mirror with striking lines framing the edge, add flying birds to your shower door, or have your logo etched into the glass of your shop window! You can say it in glass with a sandblasted design which we create while working with our clients.

You can always see our Before and After Gallery here to see the improvements new glass makes. We love being the local glass supplier to our always fantastic clients!

It’s a new month in this fresh year and the Shoppe is continuing to hold on so we can serve our community. There is a lot of construction going on around the Carlsbad Village which people can check out on their walks. California has reduced some restrictions so people may get out some more. Of course, we are still wearing masks and sanitizing to keep us and everyone else safe!

We have been working on adding more to our websites. For this one, we completed our affiliates page which links you to companies we work with. Check that page out by clicking here. On our Art Glass Overlay website, we added a page on mirrors to highlight that we can have them cut into custom shapes and sizes. They also can be an art piece by adding a unique sandblasted design to mirror. You can see our new mirror page by clicking here.

We hope you have a wonderful first weekend in February. Enjoy to cool weather, have fun, and stay safe!

We have our wonderful video spotlight shining on us thanks to the work of Trevor from Fly By Photography (@FlyByPhotograph) and the team! See our cozy studio in the gorgeous Carlsbad Village and learn a little more about all that we do. It was a unique experience to try a spot of “acting” while showing some things we usually do. Without further ado, Glass and Mirror Shoppe:
