Custom Stained Glass

Stained glass through the centuries has kept people in awe of its inner beauty. It is a wonderful accent to the interior and exterior of any home. As the light in a finished project beams brilliantly through the glass, the blend of colors and textures in the glass add a special dimension of timeless beauty. Our goal is to provide that enjoyment to be experienced over and over again. Please click on the "Learn More" tab for more information.

Testimonials

     

 I wanted my daughter to learn new things, so I asked Carol if she would do a stained glass class with Autumn. Her first project was a flower, and Autumn was so proud of their hard work. We've gone back to Carol for a few more stained glass projects, and are so happy with the lessons and finished product. I highly recommend Carol if you want to learn how to do stained glass art.

 Carol has made learning the art of stained glass fun and easy. I had a specific project in mind and with her help it turned out better than I could have imagined. She took great care in teaching me the proper techniques and tools to be used. I now have the confidence to work on my own. But with her wealth of knowledge I know I will be taking more classes. As a mother of 2 small children stained glass has been the creative outlet I needed. I highly recommend working with Carol!

 "Your work reflects the beauty which lies with in you. I'm so happy your father passed that beauty along to you, Carol!

 I had the wonderful opportunity of making many Christmas gifts with Carol. For me it was a wonderful opportunity to learn a new craft which I found relaxing while producing hand-made gifts. God has given Carol a gift that she is willing to share with others. If you want to learn this craft and make a masterpiece, Carol is definitely the person to teach you. For her to have found this passion and gift is truly a blessing from God. It is a great opportunity to meet new friends, talk, spend time with others, and have fun all at the same time. I looked forward to my time working with Carol and other students at every class and hope someday to do some more stained glass.

 Carol created an amazing piece of art for my family after the passing of my beloved dog, Harley. I sent her a picture, and she put her monumental talent to work creating a stained-glass pane that truly captured Harley's essence. It became a family heirloom the moment I opened the package and today hangs in our eating area. If you are looking for a truly unique gift -- something that will be cherished for decades, consider giving this talented friend of mine a call. She is as amazing as her art and a pleasure to work with!

 I touch my cross you made me every morning and ask God to guide me through my day and thank Him for all my blessings. It's a very special piece that I truly love.

 Enjoying my stained glass artwork made by my friend Carol Lagestee. Thank you Carol for spending many hours to bring a little bit of the Netherlands to our home. This piece is a perfect addition to our home!

 I was already blessed by Carol's friendship, but was doubly blessed when she taught me how to make my own masterpiece! With her guidance, I made a beautiful sand dollar piece that is currently hanging in our condo in Florida! It makes me smile every time I see it! Carol is a great (& patient) teacher! Thanks Carol! Ready for the next project!

About

About image
Welcome to LaGlassTee Creations! I am so glad you are here!!

I have enjoyed the art of stained glass for over 10 years. I have been truly blessed as a Christian artist, knowing God has enabled me to have the greatest adventure I could have ever thought possible! Over the years, I have been honored to create many sentimental gifts, family heirlooms, commemorative pieces in memory of loved ones and beloved animals, special anniversaries, and the celebration of new life. I am thankful every day for the people who have had confidence in me to create something special for them.

God has also enabled me to teach numerous students from ages 10 to 75 years old learn the art of stained glass and receive the gift of watching these students create a beautiful piece of art! The joyous surprise and amazement in their eyes when they finally see their masterpiece held up to the light for the first time, is priceless!

This incredible journey started with this great man, my dad, Henry Vanden Berg. After a career in carpentry his hands never stayed idle. In his late 70's he took up the art of stained glass while living in a retirement community in Naples, FL. It was upon visiting him, my dad began to teach me and I immediately fell in love with the art and Carol's glass shop was born. I am beyond blessed to have received such a gift from my dad. I hope someday to teach the next generation in our family to do the same.

I have created this website to give you an idea of the type of work I do. Using the Tiffany method of copper foil technique, my work includes all kinds of styles including but not limited to; traditional, contemporary, Victorian, vintage, farmhouse, antique, prairie, southwest, wildlife and floral, scenic and beveled glass. My pieces can be a simple table decoration or unique glass panel to the restoration of a 40 year old stained glass that had been laying on a garage shelf for 30 years. Variety is the spice of life and I love a challenge!

Most all of the work I have created has started with a customer’s own idea / request to make a stained glass piece. I do not have a store or stained glass pieces in stock. Each piece I create is tailor-made for each customer.

So, maybe you have an idea to put a personal decorative touch in your home. Or maybe you are considering a special gift for your parent, grandparents, friend or other family member for a special occasion. It all starts with an idea and I would love to help make your own personal idea come true!

If you don’t have a specific idea and you happen to see something special on the website, all of the pieces pictured on this website can be reproduced and customized to your preference. I have hundreds of glass samples and all work is computer generated so you will know exactly how it will look and how much it will cost beforehand. Then of course, there is always the option to take lessons and create it yourself in the LaGlassTee Creations glass shop! New students are always welcome!

I look forward to hearing from you! Your dream of having stained glass art with your own personal theme / idea could be just a phone call away!
