Glowing Beacons of Glass: Restoration for St. Luke's in Lilly, PA

Stained glass glows like a beacon after being fully restored and protected by Bovard Studio for St. Luke Lutheran Church in Lilly, PA. The artwork features the familiar “Come unto me” Jesus depiction in the traditional style of painstakingly painted stained glass. It is often a feature of traditional styles for every element in the border motif and background foliage to serve a symbolic purpose. Look closely at these beautiful details.

Working with unique window shapes is part of the fun in designing stained glass windows! Bovard Studio designed this compound gothic window for Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis, MO. The tall, thin panels called for creative solutions in arranging the figures.

Completed Installation for Colorful Rose Window

Wesley United Methodist Church in Wisconsin now has a colorful new rose window, custom built for their new facility. The contrast of violet and amber glass packs a punch to the flames encircling the window design.

The Saints Come Marching In

The saints keep marching in for our series of custom windows we designed for St. Bruno in California. Depicted is the hand-painted process for several figures. Before the building can begin, each saint window requires traditional painting for the faces, hands, clothes, and accessories. 

Traditional Symbolic Stained Glass Window

Bovard’s talented craftspeople have created this lovely little window piece by piece. The design features a symbolic fleur-de-lis diamond pattern that provides a decorative backdrop for two other symbols, the trinity and the alpha-omega. All of the motifs and the composition were designed to blend in with the existing windows at Holy Trinity Church.
