Ed’s Emporium Stained Glass and Fusing Studio Since 1981
Ed’s Emporium has been creating original glass work since 1981. We work directly with architects,
builders, interior designers and home owners to provide an outstanding product and service during
and after the project. Leaded glass, sandblasting, texturing, fusing/kiln work, mosaic & painting are
processes used at our studio to create unique art glass pieces.
Is Art Glass only for new homes?
Custom glass work can be installed in new construction, or used to enhance your current home,
adding design and atmosphere. Art glass may be placed in front of existing glass or integrated into
insulated thermo pane units. Often art glass is used in the entry way, but it is also very effective to
add privacy and design to any window, interior doors, bathrooms, transoms and cabinets.
How much does Art Glass cost?
The cost is determined both by square footage, complexity and the techniques required to achieve
the desired project. We are always considerate of your budget. Our prices start at $10 - $20 per
square foot to have sheet glass cut to size (note: we have hundreds of samples to choose from).
Etched work is typically in the $100 - $125 per square foot range and leaded work $125 - $275 per
square foot. Painted and fused work would involve additional costs. When designing, we retain a
10% deposit which is applied to the final cost of the project.
What is the process for ordering custom glass work?
We understand that ordering custom art glass is new experience for many, so we like to make sure
that you are informed and understand the process. We’d like to meet with you first at our studio, as
there are many samples, photos and books that can help determine your direction. We’ll take notes
and ask you questions about color, size, project location and also your budget to determine what will
best suit your needs. Carol is our designer, 30 years of experience in designing exceptional and
original works of art for you to enjoy for generations to come. If you have a photo, fabric swatch etc.
representing your décor or design influence, please bring that along. Once a design has been
conceptualized, the next step is to create a full size rendering. This allows you to see exactly what the
project could look like. Once the design is approved, the materials (colors, textures, bevels, etc.) are
chosen and construction begins.
What’s the difference between what Ed’s Emporium offers and the big chain home centers?
We are a local company providing custom art glass products not found in a catalog. Large home
centers offer mass-produced work with size and design limitations. At Ed’s Emporium you choose from
hundreds of glass samples and endless design possibilities to create a project specifically for your
environment. An original, unique art piece, personalized by you, is quite different than the limited
choices found commercially. Our studio prides itself in attention to detail and customer satisfaction is
always of utmost importance to us.
We look forward to serving you,
Ed, Carol and Eric Allen Owners
