about me
|
| hello, my name is
mike straub and i do custom stained glass. one day in 1976, i decided to take
on a "hobby". after a bit of looking, i decided to try stained glass. within a couple months,
i was doing retail stained glass work in a local studio in colorado. after a year or
so, i was manager of the retail shop's wholesale glass production division. i relocated to florida in 1988 and started doing glass on my own. in 2000, i was employed at a stained glass company where we made many incredible art glass projects. i am proud of the work we did and am sorry to say the company folded in 2009. i am on my own once more. the more traditional stuff is nice, but i prefer doing more modern designs. i have work in many private homes and businesses. i have large installations in multi-million dollar homes here in the tampa bay, florida area. i pride myself on perfection. i want my work to be flawless and will put my quality up against anyone else's, regardless of price. where other's work may look good from 15 feet away, i want mine to look good from 15 inches away. my work will stand the test of time and will appreciate in value, where less quality pieces will depreciate or hold no future value as a heirloom. my work is guaranteed until i die. size, fit, materials, and craftsmanship, must all meet my expectations, as well as those of the client. i have a vast portfolio of finished installations. stained glass is no hobby for me. it is serious work that i enjoy. |
