It is a beautiful building. Once upon a time it was a jewelry store! Those days are long since past though you’ll see something here and there that hints at this building’s past.
Now the owner, Edie, uses the old walk-in safe as her office! Does that make an awesome office or what? And yes, the safe locking mechanism has been removed (good idea).
Edie has been working with stained glass since 1982! She kindly let us check out the back of her shop. My husband, Jeremy, and I saw stained glass works in the making! Sun Catchers actually has art lessons in stained glass–isn’t that an unusual craft to learn in a small Indiana town?
Apparently she also does repairs and custom orders. You can see a few of the works in progress. Besides the long tables, there were carefully labeled boxes of various glass in all sorts of colors. Half-finished work of art in progress scattered here and there and the walls held images of other well-known stained glass art for inspiration.
