Brief History
Renaissance Studio was founded 1970 in Westport, CT by Peter Green and his sister Susan as a custom stained glass studio providing art glass windows, lamps and ceiling windows for residential, commercial and ecclesiastical clients in Fairfield county, Connecticut. The first location was on the Old Kings Highway and Route #1 intersection, in an old stone ice weighing station near Nashs’ pond. The studio spent a few years there before moving to a larger facility on Saugatuck Ave., of Westport, where Renaissance artisans spent the next 30 years creating thousands of stained glass artworks.
When Susan left the studio in 1973,to pursue a very successful business career, she was replaced by Peters’ artistic and multi - talented wife Tina. The two then helped each other build a stained glass studio that grew to include as many as five full time artisans, undertaking thousands of commissions large and small throughout the U.S. and 5 other foreign countries.
In 2001, the studio at last moved from the rented Saugatuck Ave. building to its’ current location at 188 Imperial Avenue, Westport, in a state of the art studio complex designed and built by Tina and Peter, adjacent to their private Victorian residence. There they continue to produce their stained glass artwork for interior architects,interior decorators, contractors and home owners.
Renaissance Studio has also been commissioned to create deigns for the U.S. postal service (stamps), casinos in N.J., the Bahamas & St. Martin and many regional churches. The website gallery is a tour of these past projects,that we hope you’ll enjoy taking a few moments to journey through. We are also proud to have been on the covers of Stained glass Magazine, and in articles within the pages of glass Art Magazine, Fine Woodworking ( Design Book Folios) and on the cover of Woodturning Magazine ( Britain) for Peters’ work combining formed artglass and turned wood. Awards have come from stained glass design books and the Glass Art Guild in New York city.
