Handcrafted Stained Glass
Where light becomes art, and glass becomes memory.
Discover Her StoryClaire Ellis didn't set out to become a stained glass artist — she found her way to it the way light finds its way through colored glass: slowly, beautifully, and with a kind of inevitability that surprises you only in hindsight.
It began with curiosity. A piece of antique glass spotted at a market. A borrowed book. A first cut that went slightly wrong and still somehow looked right. What started as a weekend experiment became an obsession, and that obsession became a craft — painstakingly self-taught, refined piece by piece over years of patient work.
Today, Claire works from her studio creating decorative panels, luminous wall art, and delicate sun catchers — each one a handmade original. She takes on commissioned work for clients who want something made specifically for their space, their story, their light.
She's also a mom, a dreamer, and someone who believes that the most beautiful things take time. No two pieces are ever the same. That, she'll tell you, is the whole point.
Claire in her element — Simpsonville, SC
Original glass compositions designed to transform your walls with living color. Each panel is a unique work of art, built with care to last a lifetime.
Hung in a window, a sun catcher turns ordinary light into a private little miracle. Claire's small pieces make lasting, luminous gifts for any occasion.
Have a vision — a color, a shape, a story to tell in glass? Claire loves bringing personal briefs to life. Every commissioned piece begins with a conversation.
Each piece represents hours of careful cutting, soldering, and patience — a process as meditative as the results are radiant.
Whether you have a clear vision or just a feeling you can't quite put into words — Claire would love to hear from you.
Every commissioned piece begins with a conversation. No pressure, no commitment required — just a chance to talk about light, color, and what you're imagining. Most pieces take 4–8 weeks from brief to delivery.
