First Light Glass Co.

Hey, I’m Jess—a New York City-based creative specializing in the Tiffany Method of stained glass. What started as curiosity for the medieval medium blossomed into a Brooklyn studio filled with colorful sheet glass, copper foil, and a well-loved soldering setup.

Named after my late dad’s beloved sailboat, First Light Glass Co. honors the traditional craft of stained glass and blends it with whatever’s inspiring me at the moment, from iconic American Traditional imagery to the timeless beauty of the natural world.

At First Light Glass Co., I handcraft one-of-a-kind stained glass goods, from gallery wall art to suncatchers and window panels. Find my work right here online, at select retail stores in New York, and at the occasional seasonal art market.

Thanks for stopping by!
