ST Thomas More student chapel, Kalamazoo Michigan



I stopped by the St. Thomas More student chapel , Kalamazoo MI and got a real surprise! Eight vertical windows of faceted stained glass (which our studio made for them in 1995) were now forming two pillars gracing the entrance to the church premises! What a transformation. It seems they needed to move their windows in the process of there church expansion and lacking a space for them in the new sanctuary they came up with this great solution. At night they are gorgeous all lit up. The four-sided “lamps” make a concentration of color and imagery that is truly stunning. The daytime effect is lovely too, mosaic pillars with images of the six of the Christian year and sun, moon and stars all gathered together. We look forward to more projects using this innovative concept in stained glass!!!
New pictures coming soon!!!!!
