Where to Buy High-Quality Art Glass (Even If You Don’t Live Near a Supplier)

If you’ve ever hunted for art glass online, you know the struggle—cruddy photos, unclear descriptions, the nagging worry that what shows up won’t be what you hoped for, and the sinking feeling that there’ll be zero customer service if something goes wrong.

The Struggle

I’m lucky to live very close to Kokomo Opalescent Glass. But if your local options are limited to chain stores or craft suppliers, finding high-quality stained glass for your workshop can feel like a scavenger hunt.

Whether you're searching for the perfect color, interesting texture, or COE glass for fusing projects, you want the best quality and price you can get. The good stuff—glass that cuts clean, fires well, and brings brilliance to your project—is worth seeking out.

The Solution

To make things easier, I’ve put together a list of trusted sources for high-quality art glass and supplies. These shops cater to working artists.  Most are artist and/or family owned, too.

Some of the links in the list may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. Most of the shops listed are simply ones I, or other stained glass artists, personally like and use.

Have a favorite source I should add? Drop me a note—I'm always on the lookout for good glass.

Until next time,
