PRAIRIE STAINED
GLASS was established in Winnipeg in 1978. Our focus
has always been to create art glass pieces constructed
of the highest possible caliber using the best materials available.
We currently have eight employees actively pursuing this goal.
We have dozens of finished pieces such as window hangings, lamps, fused
and cast glass vessels and sculptures, art clay silver and glass
jewellery in stock for immediate sale. We also accept commissions.
Prairie Stained Glass
is well known for our custom designed windows, lamps and room
dividers. We have built thousands of pieces for customer's homes
and offices. We have also created donor recognition walls (Victoria
General Hospital and the Children's Rehabilitation Hospital),
booth dividers (the Round Table Restaurant and the Elephant
Castle) and custom lamps (Pockets Bar and Grill and the Green
Briar). Matthew McMillan heads our residential
team. He is equally comfortable working with Tiffany style representational
designs or more modern abstract themes. He will meet with you
in our studio where you can browse through idea books to find
a design and colour scheme, which will suit your needs.
Lucinda Doran
is the head of our religious team. She is always busy
working on a number of projects simultaneously. Some of the
projects involve up to 12 windows for the same church and will
require a number of years for completion. Lucinda has studied
stained glass design and painting techniques at the world famous
Pilchuk Glass School. Her work typically includes figures such
as Jesus or Mary with beautifully painted hands and faces, as
well as robes and backgrounds if needed. She has traveled as
far afield as France to buy specially made mouth blown glass
which provides her with the palate and quality she demands in
her work. All work is done on a commission basis. Lucinda would
be happy to meet with your church committee to put on a slide
show of her body of work so that together you can formulate
a concept for stained glass windows which reflect the architectural
setting as well as the beliefs of your congregation.

PRAIRIE
STAINED GLASS WISHES TO ANNOUNCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE HISTORIC STAINED GLASS WINDOW REGISTRY
Prairie
Stained Glass would like to encourage you to have your stained
glass windows registered.
There
is no charge for this service. The
biggest challenge we have in doing repairs is trying to replace
missing glass pieces when there were no existing photographs of
the windows in their original state.
