Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Bovard Studio! Take a look at the hand painted St. Patrick panel that we built for the custom rose windows installed at St. Michael’s in Pawcatuck, CT.
Tiffany Windows Reborn at Bovard Studio
Bovard Studio has a track record of restoring historical Tiffany windows, so it came naturally to create a window from scratch to emulate one of Tiffany’s angel windows. This window was custom-designed, built, and installed for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salem, VA.
Waves of Color Ripple from Edisto Island Church Stained Glass Window
These two rose windows were part of a custom project for St. Frederick & St. Stephen Catholic Church in Edisto Island, SC. We designed and built everything from scratch to make a unique visual experience for our clients who wanted a water theme for the windows. Wave elements in the border were repeated throughout their window designs and the “water glass” we used creates beautiful shapes in transmitted light with its undulating texture.
Custom Painted Medallions Showcase Meaningful Symbols
We love to make hand-painted medallions, which are used in traditional stained glass windows to feature meaningful symbols. Here is a set of medallions with symbols that were completely customized for our clients. We can work with new symbols and also provide a directory of traditional symbols for our clients to work with. Learn more about our medallions on our page at https://www.bovardstudioinc.com/medallions.
Uncovering Stained Glass Splendor with New Protective Covering
The before and after photos at First Presbyterian Church in Hastings, NE show how old window coverings can yellow over time, obscuring the brilliance of the stained glass. We installed our 1400 Series frames on 80 windows, transforming the quality of the exterior and interior experience of these beautiful windows. In addition, we built a new leaded stained glass rose window and frame to complement style of existing windows.

New Award for St. Michael's Restoration
Bovard Studio is the recent recipient of the 2020 ABC Connecticut Excellence in Construction Awards, First Place Institutional for our work at Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Pawcatuck, CT. This project took several years to complete and included resizing and restoring St Michael’s beautiful medallion windows as well as fashioning two completely new rose windows, including custom frames. We are pleased to preserve our clients stained glass windows for their new facility and aid in this remarkable transition.
Custom Painted Stained Glass
Bovard Studio can work with all forms and styles of stained glass. Look at these colorfully painted stained glass pieces for a custom Icon style window that we made in 2006. The artwork is based on the significant San Damiano Cross from the 12th century.
