What Services We Offer
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.
Stained glass specialists are few and far between. As one of very few stained glass craftspeople in the country, Nick Easthope of Easthope Stained Glass studios in Folkestone, Kent, works on restoration, conservation and private commissions.

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."
