For First United Methodist Church in Crossville, TN. We designed, fabricated and installed this 12 foot diameter window for their new sanctuary. The window was manufactured with 1 inch thick slabs of glass. The type of glass, which is called slab glass, or dalle-de-vere, is actually cast in an epoxy resin which makes windows that are extremely durable. Because of the thickness of the glass, intricate cuts cannot be done. The nature of this glass lends itself to more contemporary designs.

During their construction phase, the church asked us to repair other windows in their facility. This beautiful Good Shepherd window is a traditional design, but it is executed with a contemporary flair. Notice the painted border is not a set color or pattern. Each piece of glass varies in color. Each piece of glass has been painted with a different design on it. Some pieces have been artistically wiped off. The face has been painted in a stylized manner which is almost Gothic. Notice that the folds in Jesus’ robe are not just darker pieces of the same color. They are actually different colors of glass. Because of these details, this piece has a contemporary flair. This is truly a beautiful piece. We were pleased to have the honor to work on this panel.
