Nothing speaks from the heart like a gift of stained glass. Long after the fresh cut flowers fade into dust, or the pretty hats and silk ties have been put away for good, after the children have married and have children of their own, and your best friend has moved away and fallen out of touch, stained glass gifts will still be saying, "I love you and I'm thinking about you." Whether it is a suncatcher that shows the colors of the rainbow, a garden stepping stone that reflects a real rainbow, or a kaleidoscope that makes its own rainbow, stained glass forever gives you the colors of life.
We at The Glass Act in Virginia Beach are proud to display a large selection of in stock gifts. If you don't see what you need, have a special request, or need a special heirloom restored, call us. We do custom work as well and would be pleased to quote you a reasonable price. Do you have an idea of what you want but don't have a pattern or picture? Dee can design it for you according to your individual taste.
In Stock
We offer a large selection of suncatchers, kaleidoscopes, tissue boxes, lamps, and nightlights to suit your every need. The Glass Act offers a wide variety of stepping stones, a perfect finishing touch for your garden. We also have hand blown glass designs trimmed in 22-carat gold.
If you feel that the best gifts are those you make with your own hands we will be happy to teach you how. New classes are always forming.
Custom
We'll be happy to create that custom piece to fit perfectly your window, door, or cabinet. Perhaps the most difficult part of any custom order is determining what you really want. Stained glass will be with you for many, many years so people spend a lot of time making sure that they know exactly what they want. If you know that you want something, but are not exactly sure what, please stop by. The Glass Act of Virginia Beach staff will be happy to offer some suggestions or you can browse through the large selection of pattern books in the store for inspiration. If you want to coordinate your piece with your existing decor, Dee will be happy to help. She has sketched designs from wall paper, cross stitched pillows, drapery, pictures, and post cards.
After you decide on a design comes the most fun and second most difficult task -- picking the glass. With so many different colors, styles, and textures to choose from it can be quite overwhelming. Of course, we at the Glass Act of Virginia Beach will gladly help you decide the right glass for your prized piece.
After you piece is finished, Mark can install it or if it's to be hung freely, frame it in Oak or Poplar.
