A Very Warm Welcome
Stain Alive is a small independent studio making handmade stained glass art - sun catchers, window panels, bowls and bespoke commissions, each one designed and made by hand from start to finish.
Timeless, lasting and beautiful glass art
I hope you get as much joy displaying your art as I get creating it!
Every piece is made using the Tiffany copper foil method: each section of glass individually cut, ground, wrapped in copper foil, soldered and polished.
Glass varies naturally from sheet to sheet, and hand soldering gives every piece its own character, so no two are ever quite the same. Light is part of every design - a piece hung in a window changes with the weather and the time of day, which is exactly the point.
You’ll find ready-made pieces in the shop, from small suncatchers to larger panels. If you have something particular in mind - a favourite animal, a memorial, a gift with a story behind it - custom commissions are always welcome.
Based in Lancashire, with pieces posted carefully across the UK.
