Welcome to The Blackbird’s Window

We are based in Toledo, Ohio after spending 5 wonderful years in St Paul Minnesota!

Our goal is to create beautiful and long lasting contemporary stained glass that is accessible and affordable. The Blackbird’s Window is a safe place for everyone, we value community, art, craft, and diversity.

With a strong belief in accessible art, they strive to create sturdy and beautiful art for all people to own. We hope to prove art at a wide rage of prices so that anyone can have handmade and local art in their home. If you are having financial challenges or are a student, reach out.

Inspiration for work is often drawn from Midwest nature, color theory, abstraction and queer identity.
