Est. 1945 · Four Generations · Sacred Glass Artistry
WHERE LIGHT
BECOMES
SACRED ART
Stained glass, restoration, and sacred commissions for churches across the West Coast and beyond.
Our Heritage
FROM DUBLIN,
IRELAND TO
CALIFORNIA
Founded in 1945 by John Hogan in Dublin, Ireland, the studio passed to lead artists and designers Roger and Cynthia Hogan. Today third-generation Studio Director Sean Hogan continues the family tradition, with John Hogan apprenticing as the fourth.
What We Do
OUR SERVICES
Four generations of sacred glass, from new commissions and faceted panels to the careful restoration of windows a century old.
01
Stained Glass
Original hand-painted and leaded glass windows designed to transform light into sacred narrative. Every panel is a collaboration between artisan, architect, and community.
Restoration
Meticulous conservation of historic windows, from condition assessment and documentation to releading, glass repair, and protective installation.
Furniture
Altars, ambos, tabernacles, baptismal fonts, and presider and deacon chairs, hand carved in the studio to sit beneath the glass above them.
Faceted Glass
Dalle de verre, thick faceted glass set in epoxy resin, creates bold, jewel-like panels of extraordinary luminosity.
Etched Glass
Sandblasted glass for architectural applications where subtlety and translucency are the goal.
Large Church Projects
Glass programs for worship centers seating thousands, built and installed to construction schedules, from Dallas to Seoul.
Church Renovations
Reworking the sanctuary itself, from reredos walls and altar reconfiguration to lighting and finishes, alongside your architect and design team.
Sacred glass is more than decoration. It is a vessel of light, story, and faith, built to endure for generations.

The Craft
HOW WE BRING
GLASS TO LIFE
01
Design Consultation
We begin with a deep understanding of your space, community, and sacred vision, developing original designs that honor your unique story.
02
Glass Selection
Thousands of antique and contemporary glass varieties are hand-selected for color, texture, and the way they carry and transform light.
03
Hand Painting & Firing
Our master painters apply traditional techniques, tracing, matting, and staining, then kiln-fire each piece of glass at 1,200°F for permanent depth.
04
Leading & Installation
Each piece is hand-leaded using traditional methods and installed with conservation-grade systems built to last for generations.
