Welcome to my stained glass world, my name is Lindsey Chavez. My passion for glass art was first sparked as a child when I watched my grandfather, “Papa Frank”, create beautiful stained glass art pieces. He would often let me tinker alongside him, as he handcrafted lampshades, sun-catchers, three dimensional chapels, and panels.
I enjoy creating traditional lead soldered pieces, as well as kiln-fired fused glass art. All of my work is designed and handcrafted in my home studio in Central Illinois. Inspiration for my pieces come from many places; unique artisan glass, upcycled stained glass scraps, nature, color, and more.

I offer local, in-person stained glass classes, as well as open studio sessions. Whether you simply need a refresher course, or you are a beginner, we can accommodate to fit your individual needs.

I sell my art at seasonal local markets, and have finished pieces at Open Space Art Gallery in Ottawa Illinois. The best way to see upcoming events is on my Facebook Page.
