Check out these stunning new stained glass windows that Willet Studios created for Light of the World Catholic Church in Littleton, Colorado!

Each window was designed and crafted in our studio, combining hand-painted traditional Munich-inspired details and carefully selected glass. From the initial concepts to the final installation, these windows were a true team effort!

Thank you to Light of the World for trusting Willet Stained Glass Studios with this project!

A closer look at three beautiful windows at St. Andrew’s Chapel at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD (St. Andrew, Solomon, and St. Paul).

Our team recently completed restoration work on these historic windows as well as a few others. Along with restoration our on-site team also did an interior cleaning to help bring new clarity back to the glass.

It’s an honor to help preserve these meaningful pieces of the Naval Academy’s history!

The article below highlights the installation of our most recent post for Trinity Episcopal Church in Galveston, TX!

"For the first time in almost a year, sunlight will stream through the full complement of historic stained glass windows at Trinity Episcopal Church, 2216 Ball St. in downtown Galveston.

The windows, colorful works of art, the oldest of which dates to 1883, have retaken their rightful place at the church after a years-long restoration project during which the delicate panes were transported to Minnesota to be cleaned and repaired by Willet Studios, a firm that specializes in restoration of historic stained glass.

Workers from the company spent the week in Galveston reinstalling each colorful pane into repaired window frames, removing the plywood that had covered the voids while the project was ongoing.

The Rev. Jimmy Abbott, the church’s rector, sees the completion of the project as a blessing.

“We’re overjoyed to have the windows reinstalled,” Abbott said. “They contribute to the heart and sacred nature of our church.”"

Congratulations to the 2026 Trinona King of the Bluff! This was such a fun project for us to work on :)

After earning the title at Trinona in June, our 2026 King of the Bluff finally received his award!

Tyler Bargman posted an incredible 7:09 climb up Garvin Heights, earning this year’s King of the Bluff title. We were happy to catch him at the Chisago Lakes Triathlon and present him with his custom award.

Congratulations, Tyler, on an impressive climb and a well-earned title!

And once again, a huge thank you to Willet Stained Glass Studios for creating such a unique award to recognize our King and Queen of the Bluff winners. 👑

This stunning "Transfiguration" window design by Willet Stained Glass Studios designer Colum Sharkey was done for the First Presbyterian Church in Lansdowne, PA.

In traditional medieval style, it captures the powerful biblical moment when Jesus reveals His divine nature on the mountain, flanked by Moses and Elijah, while the awestruck apostles Peter, James, and John look on from below.
