CLIENT SATISFACTION
What is it Like to Work
with Willet Studios?
In 2023, Willet Stained Glass Studios was entrusted by St. Ann Catholic Church in Charlotte, NC, with the creation of 12 new stained glass windows depicting the Apostles, designed to seamlessly complement the historic Emil Frei windows installed during the church’s 2009 remodel.
Through meticulous research, hundreds of reference photographs, and masterful watercolor designs, our artists achieved a perfect harmony between historic replication and new design.
