The combination of a Catholic boyhood and college summers spent window washing have given this blogger a hawk's eye for beautiful stained glass. He's put together a few spots to hit for sacred and secular stained glass-o-philes alike.
An excerpt from the blog posting reads:
If you're interested in those decorative transoms that seem to be
above so many rowhouse doorways these days, there are a few places you
can find them around the city. We're partial to a few, namely Daniel Herman Stained Glass (1601 Guilford
Avenue # 2S), Terraza Stained Glass (1412 Woodall Street), and Vintage Stained Glass . These are craftsmen, they can help you design what you want, even if you're not too sure yourself.
Finally, for the DIYers and crafty types who want to try their hand at making their own windows, there's The Glass Key
in Jessup (8610 Washington Boulevard). They carry a full line of
stained glass materials and tools, and, thankfully, offer a full line
of classes for beginners like us. We appreciate that, if only because
it's virtually guaranteed that our first five (or more) tries are going
to come out as lumpy, disfigured pieces of glass . And also because
once we get good we're not going to waste our time on anything lame
like flowers or clowns, but only design super-cool stuff like stained
glass rocket ships full of werewolves. That's just how we roll.
