Architectural Glass Art, Inc.-CAST GLASS-

Expanding the Role of Glass in Architecture

Company History

Architectural Glass Art was founded in 1875 as a stained glass studio, it is one of the oldest American studios in continuous operation.

Ken vonRoenn purchased company in 1991 and reorganized the studio to focus on more diverse applications in glass, thereby expanding the role of glass in architecture.

ObjectiveArchitectural Glass Art’s primary objective is to expand the

role of glass in architecture and make it more interesting, exciting, and ultimately more meaningful for those who live, work and experience it.

This is accomplished by expanding the diversity of applications and the use of new technologies.

Cast Glass

Cast Glass is produced by heating plate glass on a mold to a temperature sufficient for the glass to conform to the sculpted mold surface. This creates areas of varying depth, relief, and texture. This molded texture provides visual obscurity while providing an appealing tactile quality.
