Stained Glass Designs for Windows and Fusing Art Glass Pieces

My name is George McGinn of Durham, North Carolina. The photo below on the right shows me in my studio a few years ago. I do a wide range of designs, some with a Frank Lloyd Wright influence in layout and limited color use. Others use lots of bevels for that ideal suncatcher. I have designs with a religious art influence for those of the Christian and Jewish traditions. My custom pieces are ideal for home remodeling projects since they can be made in a range of sizes to fit existing spaces. I also do some handmade hardwood furniture items.

NEW ITEMS - In early 2011 I decided to extend the media I work in to included fusing with the purchase of Fusion 7 kiln by Paragon Industries. This kiln allows me to fuse glass disks up to 13" in diameter. So if you are new to my site please take a look at the Fusing Designs page via this link Fusing Art Glass Designs. If you have looked at this site before, and liked my work, you can use this link to what's new under Fusing Designs.

For custom work I always offer a firm quote to a client, once a design is set, with the quote good for 30 days. Use this link to see information on How does the custom panel process work?.

Sample Photos of Custom Stained Glass Design

Below are photographs of some designs. On the top row left is a transom 12" by 48" using two Pineapple Bevel Clusters, three star bevels, a rectangular bevel border and with Spectrum Clear WaterGlass® between the bevel elements. On the top row right is a large bevel cluster hanging with a double border, one of bevels and another of Spectrum Cobalt Blue Waterglass. On the second row left is a small hanging, 10" in diameter, made from 7 wine bottle bottoms. As a custom piece this is a unique low cost item currently priced at $75 plus shipping (2/2011 cost). On the second row right is an 8" square fused plate in the colors of the Irish Flag. It is shown in the kiln just after the final cool down.

These along with many other designs can be seen on
