Crafting Together: The Journey from Stained Glass to 3D Design
Our Etsy shop began as a blend of two distinct passions: my husband's expertise in computer modeling and metrology and my love for stained glass art. My husband works as a quality control inspector by day, while I dedicate my time as a special education teacher. Outside of work, stained glass has always been my creative outlet, and we've always cherished spending time together—even after 30 years of marriage! One evening, I casually wondered if he could use his new 3D printer to create a modular layout frame set that could streamline my stained glass projects. That simple question sparked a flood of ideas, and soon, we had developed our first product.
Word spread quickly among my stained glass artist friends, who loved the design and encouraged us to make the frames available to a wider audience. It didn't take long for us to realize that Etsy would be the perfect platform to share our creations. In January 2024, we officially opened our shop, offering just one product: the stained glass modular layout frame set. Since then, we've continued tinkering and designing, adding more useful products tailored for fellow stained glass artists. What started as a small side project has become a rewarding way to combine our talents and share them with others, as well as spend time together :)
