Nice to hear about a local business thriving and bringing beauty to the area. Keep up the good work!
Do you need prior experience to join their workshops? I’ve never tried anything like this.
Kudos to everyone at the studio for making art accessible with public workshops. More art for everyone!
Would love to see them do more public art, outside churches and theaters. Let’s see glass in parks!
Seen their work at a friend’s house and it’s truly amazing. Those colors change all day long.
It’s great they do restoration too, not just new projects. Colorado’s history should be preserved.
We agree, restoration is essential for preserving Colorado's heritage, and we're proud to highlight artisans like Scottish Stained Glass who are restoring historic windows with such care.
Honestly didn’t know so much went into stained glass. Makes me appreciate those buildings so much more.
Glad to see increased interest in custom windows. Centennial homes are about to get even prettier.
I’d really love to see how they blend modern and old styles. Stuff like this keeps art moving forward!
I drove by their studio last week and saw the sun catching all those glass pieces in the window. Gorgeous sight.
Big congrats to Martin Faith! Colorado is lucky to have such creative people.
Thank you for celebrating Martin Faith with us, his dedication truly shines through in every project at the studio!
Never realized those colorful windows in churches were done by locals. Nice to see pride in homegrown talent.
The Boulder Theater windows are stunning in person. Glad to hear they keep things old and new.
Does this place let kids tour the studio? Would be a neat school field trip for our art class.
The workshops sound awesome. My daughter would be into that. Hope they open more spots soon!
Tom R.I heard the classes fill up fast! My niece tried to sign up last year and it was full. Hope you and your daughter get in next time.
It’s beautiful what they do, but I wish more neighborhoods could afford this kind of restoration.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, accessibility is important, and Scottish Stained Glass does work with a range of budgets to help bring stained glass art to more people and neighborhoods.
Restoring those historic windows in unpredictable Colorado weather must be a huge challenge. Respect to the artists.
Does anyone know how much custom stained glass windows usually cost? I’ve always wanted one for my kitchen.
Custom stained glass prices can vary depending on size and complexity, but the studio offers consultations to give tailored estimates and help make your vision a reality.
Love seeing old art techniques kept alive. Makes the city feel more connected to the past.
I had no idea they did the work at Mother Cabrini Shrine. Those windows look amazing after the restoration.
Congrats to Martin Faith! Small businesses like this keep our neighborhoods unique. Might sign up for a workshop myself.
Really cool to see stained glass getting some love. The Boulder Theater windows are my favorite, they’re like artwork you can walk by every day.
