About
Meet the Artists
Trails End is a small stained glass studio. What began as a hobby to branch the field-seasons in 2023 has developed into an addiction.
How we work
Every piece starts as a hand drawn design and ends as cut glass, copper foil and solder. A large portion of glass in our inventory is vintage, passed on to us by former stained glass teacher, meaning some colors, patterns, and textures are irreplaceable.
We work in small batches, whenever inspiration hits, and often make just one of something. When a piece sells, it stays in the shop so you can see it and ask for a relative.

Good to know
Care and hanging
Where should I hang it?
Wherever you want! Pieces look fantastic whether they're hung in a window, sat in a display, or built into a transom.
How do I hang it safely?
There are options! Either use an "S" hook over a curtain rod, a hook screwed into the window frame, or a sturdy suction hook rated for more than the weight of the piece. Fair warning with suction cups; windows that receive direct sunlight experience temperature fluctuations which may cause the suction cup to fall.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a soft dry cloth. For fingerprints, a barely damp cloth is plenty. Solder lines naturally oxidize over time; use a 0000 steel wool pad to buff or refresh with a soapy washcloth. Skip the glass sprays, which can dull the finish on the solder lines.
Can you make something to order?
Yes, happily. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll send back a sketch and a price. Turnaround time may vary and will be discussed in the initial response. Start a custom piece.
