Sweetwater Stained Glass Studios Inc

With over 28 years combined experience in custom stained glass work, the staff at Seraphim Studios is ready to help each client design a unique piece of lasting artwork for the home, office, or other location. While specializing in residential commissions, commercial commissions are welcomed by the studio. All pieces large or small are crafted by hand using either copper foil or traditional leading techniques, dependent upon the design developed in conjunction with the client. The completed panel is numbered, signed and dated, and special care is taken to insure that each is unique. Perhaps the most technically challenging recent work was a rendering of the architectural plans for a portion of the championship Timberton Golf Course into glass, as a fund raiser for a University of Southern Mississippi scholarship endowment. In November of 2000, the studio completed its portion of the restoration project on Hattiesburg's historic Saenger Theater, which involved re-glazing six light fixtures in the main auditorium and four fixtures in the main lobby, as well as the fabrication of some thirty new wall sconces. Seraphim Studios, LLC, also provides instructors/facilitators to the Institute for Learning in Retirement at the University of Southern Mississippi, one of the programs of USM's Department of Continuing Education. Previous classes provided for ILR have included introductory leading, the basics of copper foiling, and stepping stones. All visitors receive a complimentary copy of the latest edition of Stained Glass News and have access to a wide variety of free patterns from the studio "library." Our studio maintains memberships in the South Mississippi Art Association, the Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association and the Hattiesburg Arts Council. We are also a member of the Art Glass Association. Seraphim Studios is also a registered member of the "Make Mine Mississippi " Program through the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce.
