Commission Work


Workshop space coming soon!!!

Hi Everyone,
   I'd like to introduce you to my protoge', Christine Lenahan Adams.  She started taking stained glass classes from me about 4 1/2 years ago.  I could see she picked up the art very fast, and was very good at it.  She has great pattern designs and color sense.  As I got busier, she took over my spot selling hangings at the Morning Glory Cafe in Lafayette.  She has excelled at the cafe and also has done a lot of amazing commission work.  You can check out her work on her "Lenahan Art Glass" Facebook page.
   Over the last several months, I convinced Christine to also start selling supplies and glass to help my customers get  supplies once I retire.  She is taking it one step further, and plans to also offer studio workshop space with tools and equipment available for stained glass.  This is a space, in which I can also come back and teach.  So you may see me in the future.
   Please welcome her to the art glass retail community and give her a visit.

Linda Ehlers,
Owner, Artist

Last Chance to Order Brian's Straight Edge Cutter


By Linda Ehlers - March 16, 2023

Last Chance to Order Brian's Straight Edge Cutter
Brian's Straight Edge Cutter $145
My husband, Brian, is making one last batch of his famous straight edge cutters before we retire.
Place your order by Sunday March 26th with a $70 deposit. 
Cutters will be ready before May 15th, 2023.


- Comes with a Silberschnitt 6 steel wheel turret assembly,
     plastic straight edge guide used to cut the same width strip over and over,
     & Allen wrench used to rotate the turret head assembly to the next head.
- FREE McInnes carbide head ($10 value), to replace steel wheels once they wear out.
- Cuts up to 19" long strips.


Note:  Photos below, are of my 25+ year old cutter. 
Parts have been updated, but cutters are currently sold out. 
So I don't have an updated photo.


First find a right hand corner to your glass
putting one straight edge of the glass up against
the ruler and using the line on the table to see if an
adjoining edge makes a 90 degrees.
If there is no 90 degree edge, you can created
one by cutting off 1/2" of  glass with one straight 
edge up against the ruler.
Mark that corner with an "L".



Move your square corner marked with the "L"
over to the desired width marked on the ruler.
In this example it is 1.5". Place cutting 
head on top of glass edge.



Score glass.


Break glass.

Note:  If you need a width greater than the ruler length,
mark on the glass the length you want,
then visually line up the cutting head on your mark.


Great Glass Galore open for supply purchases till May 31st, 2023.
Stop by and see what I have for free and at deep discounts as I try to reduce my inventory.

Last set of classes before RETIRING !!!


By Linda Ehlers - February 28, 2023

Last set of classes before RETIRING !!!
Hi Everyone,
   After 29 years in business, I will be retiring and closing my art glass business May 31st, 2023.   Thanks to all my students and customer over the years that have made my career very enjoyable.  As health issues have popped up, my husband and I have made the decision to retire early and move to the western slope.  We are building our dream home with amazing views of the Colorado Monument, where I will have a large studio to work on glass and painting, along with plenty of hiking close by.  

   You can continue to watch my teaching videos on my "GreatGlassGalore" YouTube channel, where my beginner stained glass class, beginner fusing class, and stained glass snowflake class videos are available.  I hope to add more teaching videos once I get settled in the new house.

THANKS, once again, to all of you.  
Linda Ehlers,
Owner, Artist, & Friend
