NOT A TOY
Thomas Critchlow Art Glass
Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Ailsa, the owner/maker at Thomas Critchlow Art Glass
My love of stained glass started with my grandfather’s stained glass suncatchers. The “Thomas” in TCAG is my grandfather, and he still inspires me. He made suncatchers in his basement workshop and gave them as gifts. Now, I make them in my garage turned studio and share them with you.
With skilled craftsmanship, quality materials, and careful shipping, TCAG makes it easy to find a meaningful gift or something special just for you.
Traditional Craftsmanship
Each piece is made entirely by hand in my central Indiana home-based studio. Each piece reflects craftsmanship and a commitment to excellence. I use traditional stained glass techniques, including both lead came and Tiffany methods, for a timeless, heirloom-quality finish.
Premium Materials
I use hand-poured glass from US manufacturers like Kokomo Opalescent Glass (the nation's oldest art glass manufacturer), Paul Wissmach Glass Co., and Youghiogheny Opalescent Glass Co. Each is known for its rich history and exceptional quality.
I also use glass from Oceanside Glass, a California-owned company recognized for its high-quality, vibrant glass used by artists worldwide.
Whenever possible, I choose American-made materials sourced from small businesses or direct from manufacturers, reducing shipping waste and keeping my studio’s footprint smaller.
Reliable Shipping
Your order arrives ready for gift-giving. Each ornament is wrapped in white, acid-free tissue, cushioned with bubble wrap, and placed inside a sturdy matte black box, where you’ll also find care instructions labeled for easy reference. For extra protection, it’s shipped in a poly mailer. Keep the box, as it's perfect for storing your art when not on display.
Orders are shipped via USPS Monday through Friday. Tracking is provided for every order at no extra cost to you.
I know you'll find pieces that speak to you, whether as gifts for someone special or a new piece to brighten your own home. I’m honored to share my craft with you and can’t wait for you to take home a piece of my work.
Thanks,
Ailsa
How it’s Made
Using a hand drawn template, I trace the design on to the sheet of glass. Each piece is hand cut and smoothed to remove the sharp edges. After a trip to the wash stand, where all the oil and debris is removed, the glass is left to dry. Next, lead came and wire details are measured, cut and shaped. Then, it's back to the work station for soldering the edges and adding hand shaped wire details.
After a second trip to the wash stand, the patina is applied. I use a dark patina, which changes the metals from silver to a dark brown. Another trip to the wash stand and finally the polish is applied. Once dried, your art is buffed to a soft shine before being packed and shipped to you!
