Kate Gakenheimer Glass

Kate Gakenheimer worked with us on a large window commission for our home. The final piece is exquisite, and the entire process of working with Kate was wonderful. She made a site visit to review carefully both the interior and exterior contexts in which the window would be seen, and on what surfaces it would transmit color and light. She took careful note of other artwork in our home, and talked to us about our tastes and interests. As her work progressed, she checked in regularly with us to talk about color, design, and composition, engaging us all through the creation process. She completed the final installation with care for our convenience/availability - and we really love the window she made for us.

Kate did a wonderful job. The work that she did for my kitchen windows still looks absolutely beautiful, and is wonderfully creative. She was also very easy to work with, and got the work finished--including the installation--very efficiently. Her top rating is very well deserved.

We love Kate’s work and we loved working with Kate. We purchased one window that was already made. Really beautiful piece. The second window was designed with our input about color and shapes and placement in the room. Kate is open to collaboration with her clients. Her craftsmanship is meticulous. Her work is an investment that will be cherished.

Kate is an amazing artist and craftswoman, recognized for her stained glass work. We have two pieces. One was already finished; the second was a collaborative design. The window pieces are of the highest quality materials. If you are looking for art that is more than decorative for your home, please consider working with her to design a beautiful window that will become an heirloom. A joy to live with every day!

Kate Gakenheimer is collaborative and responsive. The stained glass panels she fabricated for me were based on verbal descriptions of themes and motifs I wished to see,. She produced them in a timely fashion and found a graceful way to meld my personalized requests with her own sure and strong sensibilities. The results are beautifully realized at a high level of craft.
