Buck Creek Stained Glass- Helena, AL

Buck Creek Stained Glass, is the Southeast's leader in restoration and repair of stained glass. We are honored for owner, David Schleuter, to work with our Helena High School student and share some of his expertise in creating a beautiful "masterpiece." Our student learned that steps involved are tedious and very time consuming. This has definitely given him a greater appreciation for the artistic skill and craftsmanship involved.
 The student was involved in almost every process from creating the design, choosing the glass, cutting out the pattern, gluing the pattern to the glass, arranging, soldering, and brushing patina on the metal.

The final product- a beautiful creation!
