For centuries, stained glass has honored both history and innovation. My own journey began in the storied workshops of Glasgow, where I learned traditional techniques that continue to guide our work today. At Scottish Stained Glass, we apply those principles — precision, respect for the craft, and longevity — to every project we create or restore.
Our core values
These principles shape how we collaborate with clients, approach each project with care, and uphold the highest standards of quality and integrity.
Craftsmanship without compromise
We honor traditional stained glass techniques while applying modern precision. Every piece is handcrafted with care, accuracy, and respect for the craft — no shortcuts, ever.
Integrity & doing what's right
Integrity comes first — always. From honest recommendations to proper restoration and conservation, we do what's right for the glass and for our clients.
Education, teamwork & community
Stained glass is a collaborative art. We invest in training, teamwork, and education — both within our studio and by giving back to the communities we serve.
Exceptional client experience
Every project is personal. Our process ensures clarity, communication, and craftsmanship — so every client feels confident from first consultation to final installation.
Martin Faith
Martin Faith's story begins in Glasgow, Scotland, where he trained in traditional stained glass techniques under master craftsmen whose methods date back centuries. He brought those skills to the United States and, with an unwavering belief in quality over quantity, built Scottish Stained Glass into the country's premier studio.
Over 35 years, the company has completed more than 40,000 windows for homes, historic churches, hotels, restaurants, and landmark buildings across the United States — each one built by hand, each one built to last.
In 2026, the U.S. Small Business Administration recognized Martin as Colorado's Small Business Person of the Year — an honor that reflects not just business success, but a lifetime of dedication to craft, community, and the art of stained glass.
