Grapevine Decorative Stained Glass Transom

A custom stained glass window depicting a climbing grapevine, built from layered green glass and clustered jewel-toned rounds that give the fruit both depth and weight. The leaves are cut in varied shapes and textures to create movement, while the vine itself moves through the piece in a single, continuous gesture.

This window also offers a clear look into the process behind the work. Progress images document the piece as it came together on the bench, from pattern layout and glass selection to soldered assembly and final installation. Each section was built, adjusted, and unified by hand, reflecting the slow and deliberate nature of traditional stained glass making.
