Since 2019, we’ve embarked on the meticulous restoration of the leaded stained glass windows at Logan Memorial Presbyterian in Audubon, NJ. With each phase, we brought history back to life, one window at a time.

Last November, as part of phase three, we completed the restoration of 1 more window and added a new Klear-Flo Protective Covering for added preservation. Now, only 2 windows stand between us and completing this incredible project!

Our team is proud to preserve this incredible legacy at the Cathedral of Air in New Jersey, a sentiment echoed by Chaplain Chad Haan, Navy Lt. Commander:

"Willet just completed a project for our 92-year-old historic cathedral. John M. was great to work with on the proposal and as the work was being done. Kit was every bit the craftsman you would expect Willet Studios to use. Kit suggested and made excellent decisions during the restoration process. Thank you."

We recently completed the installation of new protective coverings for a breathtaking set of 18 Willet stained glass windows, beautifully illustrating humanity’s dream of flight. These windows grace the historic chapel built by the American Legion in 1932 as a serene, non-denominational space for reflection and honoring U.S. military service members, especially those in aviation.

The final stage of the St. Ann Catholic Church project brought all elements together. After painting, each glass piece was fitted, glazed, and reinforced before being installed in the church’s lower clerestory windows.

The finished series beautifully complements the original Emil Frei stained glass, achieving a near seamless integration. These 12 Apostles' windows now stand as a testament to the power of craftsmanship, tradition, and design.

To match the existing windows by Emil Frei, Willet Studios created dozens of custom paint samples to capture the character and texture of the new windows at St. Ann Catholic Church. From silk-screened baroque frames to stenciled filigree backgrounds, every element echoed the iconic Munich style.

Layer by layer, shading, silver stain, and luminous enamels were applied and fired to perfection. The process ensured each Apostle’s portrait retained the timeless beauty and depth of its antique counterparts while preserving meticulous craftsmanship.

The new Apostles' windows for St. Ann Catholic Church demanded masterful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our process began with the creation of full-size ""cartoons"" that served as blueprints for every element, from figures to intricate motifs.

With a curated palette of mouth-blown glass from Germany’s Lambert's factory, the beauty of the past was brought back to life. Each piece of glass was hand-cut and arranged to recreate the vibrant, tertiary hues of the original Emil Frei windows, making the new additions feel as though they’ve always graced the church.

St. Ann Catholic Church in Charlotte, NC, again turned to us for a remarkable stained glass project, blending historic replication with innovative design. Tasked with creating 12 new 3-by-5-foot windows depicting the Apostles, our mission was to echo the style and spirit of the antique Emil Frei stained glass windows acquired in the church’s 2009 remodel.

Guided by hundreds of reference photographs and carefully crafted watercolor renderings, our artisans designed each new panel to seamlessly integrate with the church's existing heritage. The result is a breathtaking synthesis of past and present.

Willet always strives to reserve beauty and honor tradition. Learn more about our process at https://go-willet.com/new-windows

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.
