Founding owners Sheila Marsh and Bill Blair began to craft and supply stained glass pieces from The Glass House's original location at 85 Princess Street in beautiful downtown Kingston. As one of the few businesses of this type in Canada, their creations were shipped all over North America. Sheila retired in 1999 and sold the business to Lynda and Craig MacRae.

Took the "15 hour beginner course". Staff are very skilled and have a good way of teaching. Class moves at your own pace regardless of the speed of others. All supplies are provided in excess. If you run out of time they're happy to have you come back and finish on your own time.

A great experience! I am a brand new to stained glass art and didnt know how to get started. My husband and I dropped in and by the time we left, I had all that I needed and not more than I needed. I was given instruction on each piece of equipment and even a quick cutting lesson. I was encouraged to call or email with any questions. I highly recommend Lynda and The glass house!

First time visit and will definitely go back again. They were busy with a class going on, but, took the time to show us around the shop. They had exactly the glass I was looking for.

Lynda is the loveliest person, she is super helpful all the time. Visiting The Glass House is just dreamy with so many amazing art pieces on display. There is a great selection of supplies and glass to choose from while visiting the cats and dog. My favorite store!

I am a novice at stained glass and took on a huge mosaic window project. I found all the materials I needed at The Glass House, but the best part was all the practical advice they happily shared with me from the moment I walked into the store. More than a few phone calls were made over the course of the 5 months it took me to complete the project and my questions were always fully answered cheerfully. Great supplies and wonderfully supportive staff. Thanks!

All the staff there are enthusiastic to share their trade and hobby with people of all skill levels. Friendly and encouraging, they will help you to learn new skills, or to find a new piece of art.

The products are all beautiful, well priced and unique and the staff are lovely folks. Very welcoming of me and my family, even to the point of showing us into the home to see the kitties!
