Perhaps you have imagined a radiant stained glass window in your kitchen or living room, maybe it is a Tiffany lamp on your piano or hanging over the dining room table. Have you envisioned a beveled glass sidelight next to your front door or a pathway of mosaic glass stepping stones along the edge of your garden?
Have you ever wanted to discover the world of hot glass? This can include jewelry, functional dishes and vases. All of these have become very popular over the last few years and we show you how to create something beautiful without being intimidated. Fused elements can also be used to enhance your stained glass projects and much more.
These are all projects you can make yourself, or we can create for you. Creating beautiful stained glass and hot glass projects is a great way to spend some of your leisure time.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

We are a full service stained glass store and stock the largest selection of art glass, beveled glass, supplies and patterns for the stained glass hobbyist in the area.
Whether you are interested in traditional stained glass, mosaics, glass fusing or bead making, we should have what you need. If we don't have it in stock, we should be able to get it for you in 2-3 business days. We have business relationships with many vendors and have a wide variety of items available to us - what you see on our floor isn't all you can get in many cases.
Not only are we passionate about keeping a large selection of glass on hand for our customers, we strive to be the best at helping our customers create beautiful art for their homes and/or businesses.
We do this by sitting down with our customers and discussing their wants. From there we can either use a stock pattern or design a custom pattern tailored to your specifications. We can do just about anything from enhancing your cabinet doors with textured glass to elaborate windows for your entryway or picture window.
Custom work is not limited to only stained glass. We have done fused plates, clocks and address plates. Sandblasting is also an option. There's nothing like the elegant look of a cabinet door with a dragonfly scene or other design on it.
We like to keep our designs fresh and interesting by combining techniques in a piece. This may be by sandblasting a design onto a piece of glass and putting a stained glass border around it. This makes for an interesting cabinet door. Another way we like to combine elements is by fusing a tile or design onto a piece of glass and incorporating it into a traditional stained glass window. This makes the panel feel very "3-D" by having that little depth element.
FAQs & ANSWERS

We get a lot of questions here at Peachies. We try to answer them all to the best of our ability but we thought we would post some of our most frequently asked questions.
What is COE?
COE (Coefficient of Expansion) refers to the rate at which a glass expands and contracts when heated or cooled. Glasses must be of the same COE to be considered fusing "compatible". For example: all the products carrying the System 96 label are compatible with each other. We try our best to keep all like types of glass together as we have many COE's of glass.
What is TX glass?
TX refers to glass that is a limited run. We purchase this glass because it can have a unique color combination or style of glass. It differs from the standard run of the glass, and is usually one of a kind. If you purchase a piece of this glass (it actually has a TX or SP on the label) be sure to buy more than you may need because this glass is not able to be ordered. Nothing is worse than accidentaly breaking a piece during construction and you aren't able to replace it.
Do you have to have a lot of glass experience to join your classes?
We pride ourselves on having classes that cater to the advanced crafter and to those who have little or no experience. If you take a look at our class schedule, you will notice that if a class requires any advanced knowledge the description will say so.
Why can a repair be so expensive?
Repairs can be expensive due to the time involved in the process. There is a lot that goes into removing and replacing a broken piece of glass. Many times if the panel was purchased at a cheap cost, the repair may be more than the price of the piece. If it is a piece you love, we can discuss other options with you.
