The Magic of stained glass

Leadlight (Stained Glass) has been used for centuries to  dramatic effect by capturing the light to create a unique and beautiful atmosphere.

Stained Glass Design & Building

The skill of creating beautiful windows with stained glass is still very much alive today.

We will work with you to create your own stained glass feature for your home or workplace. Based in Tauranga, we mostly work in the greater Bay of Plenty area but can cover anywhere in the North Island by arrangement.

Historically, coloured glass was difficult and expensive to produce, meaning stained glass windows and art were reserved for the wealthiest of individuals and institutions. Luckily modern manufacturing makes coloured glass incredibly affordable, so now everyone can enjoy the beauty of stained glass in their home or workplace.

Popular with people wanting to make a statement with their home or businesses wishing to add extra life to dull buildings; stained glass is still a popular way of adding style to or energising spaces.

Whether you already have an idea or need a little inspiration, we can help create the perfect stained glass design to suit your taste and location.

How to find us

We are located at the back of the Historic Village, outside the main area.  If you come in via the main entrance, walk up the cobbled street to the end and then turn left down the road.  Partway down the road, you will see the signposted pathway to the right that leads to our turquoise-blue building.  If you need to bring a vehicle into the Village, please contact us to discuss access. 

Due to increasing out-of-town commitments, our studio hours are very variable. If you want to be sure to catch us,  please contact us by phone or text (021 834 982) or email us to make sure we are in, or to arrange a day and time.

We are most likely to be in the studio on Thursdays and Fridays, 10 am to 4 pm, and Saturdays, 10 am to 2 pm, but this is not guaranteed, so please check before coming in.
