Our team has been busy restoring traditional stained glass windows for St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Parish in Niles, Michigan. We are happy to be preserving the stained-glass heritage of this beautiful 150-year-old Church.
From rendering to reality, this series of photos shows pieces of Bovard’s process when building a custom stained glass window. Pattern drafted, glass cut, painted and kiln fired, assembled, and cemented by our talented team of artists and craftspeople, this boldly vibrant window will be installed in St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Milton, FL.
