Our Artisans

 

David Rosen, a native of St. Louis, MO began working with stained glass and mosaic at the age of seven. He has continued working with glass throughout his acedemic and ministerial careers. Although self taught at the beginning, he has had the opportunity to observe and learn at the Frei Studio in St. Louis, Marilyn Wells' studion in Crawfordsville, IN and with numerous other independent glass artists throughout the Midwest. He has created countless works in glass ranging from stained glass sculpture to lampshades and large church windows. He also has extensive experience in the renovation and repair of existing windows and stained glass. In his travels as clergy, Dave has created stained glass for churches in Missouri, Illinois, Florida, California, and Indiana.

 

Bill Adams is a native of the Wabash Valley who joined Artisan's in 2003 and has developed considerable skill as well as an intense passion for working with glass. Given his personal interests and abilities, as well as skills acquired in his career endeavors, he has proved to be a "natural" in glass art since he joined Artisan's. He specializes in fused glass creations ranging from windchimes to free form vases. Bill also takes care of the Dye'mic Infusion creations.
