Our Expertise

As artists trained in one of England’s oldest studios founded in 1788, and mentored by two renowned stained glass artists, we understand exceptional design and the importance of quality craftsmanship. We specialise in traditional and contemporary glass painting using materials of superior quality imported from all over Europe and North America, and combined here at our Vancouver studio on Canada’s West Coast. We create crafted and original art that can influence your architectural setting in a way no other medium can.

Gilroy Stained Glass is a member of the Craft Council of British Columbia, and is elected to the Associateship of the British Society of Master Glass Painters.

Our Feature Design

We have recently designed, painted and fabricated two windows, featuring both natural and mystical sea life, for a home on Protection Island, BC.

Our client had seen and loved a previous depiction of a mermaid we had designed, and wanted one for his new home along with a companion window featuring a seascape. More details can be seen on our Residential Projects page.

“The stained glass we commissioned for our island cottage absolutely took our breath away. John and Laura’s artistry, blended with their craftsmanship, resulted in a stunning piece of art which generations of our family will enjoy. Our mermaid is the soul of our ocean home.”

~ Trevor & Sharon, Protection Island.

Our Services

We offer uniquely designed and exceptionally produced artwork, with a knowledgeable and professional service. We create ecclesiastical, residential and commercial stained glass to commission, and we are able to restore all ages and styles of stained glass.

We also enjoy teaching glass painting classes, held at our Vancouver studio, and due to our training  in England, we feel it is our turn to pass on the skills and techniques which were once almost exclusive to the ecclesiastical artist.

Do you have a stained glass project in mind? Contact us today and we would be delighted to meet with you to see how we can help you take your idea from concept to completion.
