Custom Stained Glass Pattern Design Service

Turn any photo, sketch, logo, quilt block, or architectural concept into a precise, ready-to-cut stained glass, etched-glass, or mosaic pattern—drafted by the veteran artists at Paned Expressions Studios.

  • Tiffany-style florals, geometrics, and tricky curved repeats
