Company Profile

Artifex Studio, established in 1910, is one of the oldest continuously operating stained glass studios in the Philadelphia Tri-state area.  We have served over a thousand clients during our close to a century of service.

The name "Artifex" is taken from the Latin term for "craftsman" or "art maker".  Working with stained and architectural glass has been described as the art of painting with glass.  Our work includes the creation, historic conservation, restoration, repair, and protection of stained and leaded architectural glass found in churches, synagogues, temples and other religious institutions as well as public buildings, commercial establishments and private homes.

Having been in business for many years, we are especially aware that many congregations, municipalities, businesses, and families have inherited a legacy in stained and leaded architectural glass that have greatly appreciated in value, and that may have reached the age and condition when professional attention may be critical to its very survival.

We strive to deliver the best in repair and restoration services at the lowest possible cost.  If your windows are showing the signs of aging such as broken or missing pieces of glass, corroded lead, bulges and/or buckling, or support separation, we would be glad to have the opportunity to survey your windows, discuss needed repair work with you, and propose a plan for repair and restoration.

We also design, construct, and install new stained and leaded architectural glass windows and panels in all types of locations.

Our Mission

First and foremost, Artifex Studio strives to bring glory and honor to God Almighty:
