In honor of Thanksgiving, we are sharing George Gugert's personifications of Praise and Thanksgiving, which he created for St. Cecilia Catholic Church (St. Charles Lwanga Catholic Church - Detroit) Detroit, MI under the Henry Lee Willet Studio, in 1931.

Please share... what are you thankful for today?

We at Willet Studios wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

With our recent rebrand, it was time for our Winona headquarters to get a fresh new look—and that meant new signage out front! Our incredible Special Projects Team pulled out all the stops to create this one-of-a-kind piece.

The sign combines art and engineering, using a weather- and UV-resistant, crystal-clear silicone to bond art glass to a safety glass substrate. It’s non-yellowing, non-hazardous, and built to last!

Our water jet team precisely cut the logo and lettering, while our Glass Cutting Specialist hand-cut the Lambert’s art glass featured on either side. After a careful cleaning and priming process, the team mixed and vacuum-sealed a two-part epoxy to eliminate any air bubbles before pouring the silicone onto the tempered glass.

Each piece of art glass was placed slowly and carefully—no pressure, no repositioning—allowing gravity to take over and the silicone to set perfectly. After resting for over 12 hours and curing fully for over 72 hours, the finished piece was ready to be installed.

We’re thrilled with how it turned out—a true collaboration of craftsmanship, precision, and pride! ✨

For over a century, Willet Studios has had the privilege of creating stained glass windows that honor the courage, sacrifice, and faith of our nation’s servicemen and women. Our work often tells their stories—of bravery in battle, devotion to duty, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

Today, and every day, we extend our deepest gratitude to all veterans and their families. Your service and sacrifice continue to inspire the art we create and the communities we serve.

Featured Windows:
1–3: St. Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church, Bethesda, MD
In 2024, the church’s “Procession of Saints” was completed, including Fr. Emil Kapaun—Army chaplain and Medal of Honor recipient who served in WWII and Korea. He is depicted holding half of his pipe, once shot from his mouth in battle, with his chaplain’s helmet resting on the balustrade.

4–5: “The Triumph of Courage,” Bliss Hall, U.S. Army War College, Carlisle, PA
Gifted by veterans of the Battle of the Bulge, this window was unveiled on September 11, 2001. It portrays an infantry patrol surrounded by the insignia of the major units involved in the battle.

6–8: V.F.W. National Memorial Building, Washington, D.C.
Completed in 1960, five leaded windows representing each branch of the U.S. The intent of the design is that the identification can be made by the spectator. Shown is the window in situ, a black and white design, and the color design for the Marine window. The set includes the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.

9–11: Soldier’s Chapel, Gallatin Canyon, Montana
This interdenominational chapel serves as a memorial to World War II. Its rose window, designed by WWII veteran and artist Jack Gunter of Billings, MT, was executed by Willet Studios in 1955.

To all who have served—thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your enduring legacy.

Associated Crafts® & Willet Hauser®: Where Light Learns to Speak

A significant part of the history of the stained glass industry in the United States over the past 120 years belongs to Willet Hauser Architectural Glass Inc. while more recently, Associated Crafts® has contributed to industry innovation.

One of the oldest in North America, Willet Hauser Architectural Glass® was formed through the merger of two American stained glass studios: The Willet Stained Glass Studio of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Hauser Art Glass Company Inc., located in Winona, Minnesota. When the two united in 1977 they formed one of the largest stained glass studios in the world.

In 2005, the company changed its name to Willet Hauser Architectural Glass Inc. to more accurately reflect the long-term direction of the studio.

In 2014, the company was purchased by another prominent stained glass family, the Phillips, owners of Associated Crafts®. The Phillips have over 40 years experience in innovating in the industry from traditional practices to unique improvements.
