Stained Glass 

Studios, Inc.

     In 2011, members of Bethel Lutheran Church contacted Laws Stained Glass Studios.  Bethel had been raising money for about 10 years for stained glass windows to be placed behind the pulpit.  However, they would need to cut openings in the wall because no window existed there.  Laws sent them some ballpark prices to help determine the type of glass and design that they were interested in.  

     Later in 2012, Laws' artist Vincent Ketchie made a color sketch for them along with a drawing of the sizes for the openings. The window group consisted of four different windows.  In the two bottom windows, there were hand-stained pictorial floating figures of Christ, one depicted him "Ascending" and the other of him "Blessing the Little Children."   The church liked the design and proceeded with the project.

     In 2013, Laws made the hand-stained glass windows and aluminum frames.  The church had a local contractor to prepare the rough openings.  Laws installed the dark bronze aluminum frames into the openings and placed 1/4" Lucite acrylic on the outside as the protective covering.
