Thomas Critchlow Art Glass

Hi, I’m Ailsa, the creator behind Thomas Critchlow Art Glass

My love of stained glass started with my grandfather’s stained glass suncatchers. I remember the sunlight would dance through them, throwing beautiful colors everywhere. The joy my grandmother found in those pieces stuck with me and inspired me to keep that legacy alive. The “Thomas” in TCAG is my grandfather, and his love for stained glass still inspires me!

Hand-created with Craftsmanship

Every piece is made with skill and attention to detail, using a mix of traditional methods—like lead came and Tiffany-style copper foil—along with my own touches. I handpick, cut, and shape each piece of glass. I solder, clean, and polish the completed work to give it that perfect finish, ready to bring a little bit of magic to your space.

A New Chapter

After retiring from nursing, I decided to follow my heart and dive into stained glass full time. What started as a hobby quickly turned into something much bigger, and with the support of my family, Thomas Critchlow Art Glass was born. It’s more than just a business for me—it’s a way to celebrate my grandfather’s art and share that joy with you.

Craftsmanship with Heart

I use high-quality materials for every piece, often choosing USA-made glass and supplies. I want each piece to feel special, whether it’s detailed with copper wire or left simple so the glass can do all the talking. Everything I create is built to last and designed to bring warmth, color, and light into your life.

My Goal

My goal is simple: to create pieces that brighten your home and bring a little magic to your day. Whether it’s a custom ornament, a beautiful window panel, or something special for a loved one, I want to help make you feel as unique as the pieces I create.

Thanks for Visiting

I’m glad you stopped by! I hope you find something here that speaks to you—whether it’s a gift 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.

Until next time,

Ailsa
