Solstice Art Source, Inc. / Solstice Stained Glass

One day, out of the blue, it hit me how truly ugly the glass block window in my front hall was. I called Solstice because I knew Emily from a class I had taken with her years ago, and had seen how beautiful the work coming out of that studio is. Starting with the idea in my head of what I wanted, Emily and I talked it through until we had the design finalized, with her asking all the right questions to give me what I envisioned. Then I went to the studio and chose the glass, which was harder than it sounds because they have so much and it is all so beautiful.
They made the window to measure, and even recommended a handyman to install it. A few weeks later, my front hall was transformed. Every time I walk past this window I am so glad we did this. I can’t think of anything else I could have done to my house for a few hundred dollars that could have enhanced it more. I absolutely love it. And the experience of working with Solstice made it a really pleasant and interesting experience.

Emily is A-​MA-​ZING. I had some work done in my 100-​plus-​year old house to fix windows. I had two original art leaded-​glass windows that were warping badly & a former owner decided to spray the fake snow (that stuff in a can you put on fake Christmas trees) over the panes to make it look artistic. Emily came over, took some measurements and gave me some thoughts on whether they could be saved. Her verdict was yes. She popped them out of the frames and about a month or so later she had cleaned the up, flattened them out and re-​leaded them. She was able to save 90% of the original glass and got all of the fake snow off. You’d never know they were in such poor shape after she was done with them. The way they now reflect the light — they practically shimmer. I’m sure her work has added value to my humble abode. They’re probably good for another 100 years. Emily is a true restoration artist. If you need the real thing, she’s it. Plus she loved my cats. :)
