About the studio
A long practice of glass, brass, and patient making.
Frank Stone’s work started in stained glass, moved through etched and carved plate glass, and expanded into brass sculpture, furniture, and built pieces for interiors and landscapes.
Design begins with the material.
Frank has spent almost 50 years designing architectural elements for public and private venues. The work is collaborative, functional, and built to sit comfortably in the place it was meant for.
Early work in self-taught stained glass led to etching, glue-chipping, and deep-carved plate glass.
Later work expanded into kinetic sculpture, brass bases, tables, walls, screens, benches, and fountains.
The salvage yard remains a source for parts, texture, and unexpected starting points.
What the studio makes.
Architectural elements, custom furniture, and sculptural installations all come out of the same shop. The scale changes, but the language stays consistent.
- Glasswork
- Leaded glass, etched panels, carved plate glass, and stained-glass compositions.
- Metalwork
- Brass, copper, and steel forms with hand-finished surfaces and visible structure.
- Scale
- From a compact table to a large public installation or a one-off replacement piece.
“The most elegant solution is usually the one that respects the place and the client at the same time.”
