JUDSON STUDIOS: Innovation in Stained Glass
with David Judson

Hidden away from the bustle of Los Angeles is the Craftsman home of Judson Studios, the legendary stained glass artisans whose hand-crafted works have been a family tradition for five generations.

From the earliest days of the studio during the Arts and Crafts Movement to the newly refined fused stained glass used in today’s contemporary buildings, Judson Studios work has been recognized internationally as among the world’s finest stained glass artistry. Often compared to the work of Louis Tiffany, Judson Studios glass has become world-renowned for its innovations in stained glass art and technology. Frank Lloyd Wright tapped Judson Studios in the 1920s to produce the subtly colored windows for Hollyhock House, the architect’s most famous structure in Los Angeles.

Like other stained glass craftsmen, much of Judson’s finest work has been installed in religious buildings. Judson Studios developed methods for blending subtle variations of color in glass for the project at the Church of the Resurrection, the possibilities of glass as an artist’s medium became increasingly apparent.

Join Judson Studios president David Judson for a talk on the oldest family-run stained glass studio in America and nearly 130 years of artistry and innovation.

Philosophy of Design Series

This April and May, we celebrate the transformative power of design with a series of events examining the work of influential architects, artists, and designers. We'll explore how their unique philosophies and principles are reflected in their creations—works that not only shaped the way we view the world and experience space but open up new possibilities for ways of living.
