Hi, I'm Eric Seidlitz! 

I love making stained glass and have been doing it as a hobby for close to 30 years.

In the fall of 1998 I decided that I needed yet another hobby for my artistic side to express itself, so I took up Stained Glass. I got a few books and looked up things on the internet, then went straight to the glass store to get some supplies. After looking at the myriad types of glass available, I decided on a pattern and bought what I needed (actually, much more than I needed, but who knew!).

When I started in 1998, I had no idea that I would be still doing stained glass today (2026). As is usual for me, I didn't start with the most simple of projects (a rose clock on the Custom Framed Panels page).  Looking back, I think it was probably a good thing to do - it gave me the confidence to tackle even bigger projects.
