Veley Art and Stained Glass
Studio was established in 1976 to assist individuals
and organizations in the acquisition of appropriate
window treatments for a wide range of architectural
structures.
The services offered by the studio include
appraisals of existing windows, damage assessment,
insurance claims, restoration, design, fabrication
and onsite installation.
We specialize in all facets of custom church
window decorative glass — from new window
treatments to the restoration of existing
stained glass. We also design and execute
windows from faceted glass (dalle-de-verre),
a technique used widely in Europe and now
gaining popularity in the United States. This
medium lends itself distinctly to modern church
architecture by complementing wood, steel
and concrete. Faceted glass windows are durable
and require virtually no upkeep.
Professional expertise is assured in creating
windows harmonious with the interior design
and archictecture of the church without compromising
the iconographic content or the liturgical
significance of the stained glass window.
All designs are customized to meet the various
requirements of a particular building and
its specialized function.To assist in the
task of accurate restoration, the studio maintains
an extensive bank of old glass, both domestic
and foreign.
