About Us
MAKING BEAUTIFUL WINDOWS
Peggy Erickso n has a wonderful job and you can tell she loves
it. "No day is ever the same," says Erickson. "I have the
opportunity to meet new people, see great houses and
work on interesting projects."
Her studio creates beautiful leaded and beveled windows that
customers enjoy for a lifetime.
Erickson established her studio 23 years ago and has gathered
together artisans in all facets of decorative glass. Besides
leaded, beveled and stained glass, they also create panels in
the multi-dimensional beauty of sandblasting or etched glass.
Erickson says that she has been very fortunate to have such
talented artisans and fabricators working with her. "I decided
to gather together the finest artists and crafts people in
every aspect of decorative glass and have them be associates
of my studio....I am very fortunate to have some incredibly
talented people working with me and together we make beautiful
panels and have a great time doing it...I know we do excellent
work," Erickson tells us, "but we also conduct business the
way it should be conducted. We return phone calls promptly,
show up on time for appointments and treat every new
commission with care and detail so that our best work shows."

Erickson says that she finds challenges in the new building
going on around the Santa Clarita Valley. "All the new homes
have such great architectural windows. People buy these homes
and after they get int o
them, they realize they have privacy and sunlight issues. You
don't need to cover the windows for sun problems. We suggest
enhancing them with different textures of transparent glass to
diffuse the sun, but allow the light inside. We can solve the
privacy issue in the same manner."
Her studio was commissioned by St. Francis Medical
Center in Lynwood. The project was completed in late 1996 in
the family life center addition to the hospital. "We
sandblasted religious figures and images of angel babies onto
the entry doors to the chapel. We also sandcarved a 13-foot
cross in the glass above the altar," she said. "We like the
challenges of all the odd-shaped windows that the architects
incorporate into the newer homes. These wonderful windows let
in a lot of light, but sometimes the light is damaging to
furniture and carpeting. People end up covering the windows
and cut down the light for which they bought the house in the
first place. We can solve these problems..."
Erickson's work can be seen throughout the Santa Clarita and
San Fernando Valleys and she invites you to visit her studio
