Bio

At the age of 70, my Grandfather, Pat Difilippantonio, decided it was time for a new hobby. He took a few classes and setup a small stained glass shop in his basement where he began creating beautiful stained glass. One day while
visiting with him, he showed me the art of stained glass and some of his beautiful creations. Within 1/2 hour, I was hooked on Stained Glass.

I decided to take a few classes at a local college and began creating stained glass as a hobby. Soon, I had my first Stained Glass studio in the basement of my home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. My first Stained Glass instructor was a Stained Glass guru by the name of Sam Schatz. At that time, Sam was supplying the Moravian Stars to the Moravian Book Store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Of course, I had Sam show me the art of creating these beautiful stars and soon I was making and selling Moravian Stars.

I began selling my stained glass (Moravian stars, candle holders, angels, sun catchers and panels) at local craft shows and fairs in and around Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

My love for Stained Glass has motivated me to create my own web site and share this beautiful craft and my creations with you. We also have Stained supplies available for sale. As a full service Stained Glass studio, we can perform custom creations specifically designed for you and perform repairs on existing pieces.
