New to the studio this year is the addition of Dave Burns who will be running the stained glass part of the studio. Dave comes here from Orangeville where he ran his own studio for over 20 years. It took about 2 years for me to convince him to join me here in St. Jacobs and now we can each take a day off once in a while

Our studio focuses on custom creations for each client. Robert started as an apprentice in glass at the age of 20, painting and kiln firing glass for churches. 23 years later at the age of 43, he is still firing glass in kilns, only ten times as large. Over the past 23years he has studied twice in Germany and attended many conferences and workshops throughout the United States and Canada. The first 11 years in St. Jacobs was spent in the back half of a building called "Artefacts Architectual Antiques." In this space he designed and built the large kilns, and developed glass techniques that stood out as different and unique. The opportunity came to move out onto the main street in St. Jacobs in the old Blacksmith building where new opportunities arose. Now after 7 years in this prime location, Robert still makes 90% of what he sells on site.
