Stained glass art and repairs by Laura Pop

Toronto, Canada

A traditional art form with a contemporary twist.

As a stained glass artist, I specialize in custom pieces that can be both decorative and functional.

This is an historical craft, and I’m here to reinvigorate it with a contemporary flair. With my graphic design background, I like to think of this art form as ‘painting with glass.’

Using both leading and Tiffany methods of construction; this gives more flexibility when designing your perfect piece (ie. indoor vs outdoor, amount of detail).

Stained glass doesn’t have to be limited to religious icons and traditional frilly flowers.

My work ranges from custom windows for residential and commercial projects to gallery-exhibited pieces that showcase the beauty, craftsmanship and imagination of stained glass.

In addition to custom commissions, I have experience restoring aged windows, and I have worked on notable churches and buildings across the Greater Toronto Area with renowned company EGD Glass.

Stained Glass Services

  • All designs are original. I work with my clients to ensure their visions are fulfilled. And if you already have a design in mind, I am happy to consider collaboration.

    I work with both leading and Tiffany methods of building so that any design can be created for any environment.

  • I offer both minor and major repairs for your glass pieces. Signs that your window may need some extra love include cracks or broken glass, buckling or warping, and general clean-up.

    Many old houses around Toronto still have their original stained glass windows — it could be time to make yours shine.

  • Just as I pride myself on my original designs, I have worked with other artists to see their art in a new medium.

    If you have a design or an image in mind, I would love to work with you to turn it into glass.

  • Looking to expand your brain and skills? I’m available for 1-on-1 classes introductory classes. Contact me for more info.

Process

The process of creating stained glass is not glamorous; it’s dirty, and messy, and can be a health hazard, but it is just as beautiful as the result.
