Welcome - Canton Studio - Custom glass art handmade in Lisbon, Iowa

Hello, I’m Rebecca Hess, if you like glass art I really think you should visit my studio!

During 40+ years of creating glass art my inspiration has always been our natural environment. I love how the interplay of light radiating through stained glass can evoke a magical sense of wonder.

I strive to combine the ethereal flow of color & light with the rich presence of metal and stone to emulate the beauty of our natural surroundings and with my artistic interpretation bring the natural world into your home.

Canton Studio offers a wide variety of handcrafted glass art pieces, custom designed windows & small gift items.

Here you will find traditional stained glass, jewelry, fused and kiln-formed vessels, wall hangings, sun-catchers, glass mosaics, shaped glass leaves, glass tiles with kintsukuroi-inspired joinery and other exotic glass creations on hand or in progress.

Please come visit & explore!

I’m not great at photography and I often forget to take pictures of work I’ve done. You can click on each picture to see a full-sized version on your screen.

NOTE: I’m going to get better at taking pictures, so keep checking back for new ones.
