Exquisitely Handcrafted Stained Glass Artistry
“People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” - Elizabeth Kubler Ross
At its essence, stained glass design is the skill of manipulating natural light to create art. The ancient art of stained glass has been used throughout history to illuminate churches and cathedrals, stately homes and castles and private homes.

Bespoke Stained Glass Artistry and Services
What Services We Offer
Commercial
A bespoke stained glass installation is a striking and cost-effective way to enhance any commercial space with a timeless and artistic feature. Working closely with clients, the studio captures your vision and translates it into a design that complements your brand, architecture, and environment. Using carefully selected colours, textures, and motifs, we create panels that elevate interiors and make a lasting impression on visitors and clients alike.
Domestic
When needed, any cleaning or maintenance of domestic stained glass should be carried out carefully and in a controlled, localised manner, with full consideration of the materials and methods used. By properly caring for stained glass in the home, we help ensure that this unique and beautiful art form continues to enrich our living spaces and can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Ecclesiastical
In the restoration and conservation of ecclesiastical stained glass, it is vital to consider every component of the window to safeguard its spiritual and historical significance. From the stained glass panels and lead cames to the surrounding stonework and support structures, each element is carefully assessed. We identify areas of concern and make informed, respectful decisions that ensure the window’s integrity and longevity, preserving its role within the church for future generations.
What our clients have to say about us…
"I recently had the pleasure of commissioning Easthope Glass Studio’s for a stained glass restoration & repair project to the College’s Chapel windows, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The team at Easthope Studio’s demonstrated exceptional professionalism and craftsmanship."
"It was a pleasure working with Edward and Easthope on the Arding & Hobbs project. Easthope were extremely knowledgeable and reliable, and they quickly grasped the architects aspirations in relation to restoring the heritage glass features. We certainly wouldn’t hesitate to work with you again and hope that we can collaborate on another project soon."
"I am an architect specialising in historic buildings, especially grade I and grade Il listed churches. This work frequently involves works to stained glass windows. Easthope Studios have become my preferred contractors for such projects. Their work is always of the highest quality and they give me a personal service. I give them my strongest recommendation."
