Hanscomb Glass Studio
Hanscomb Glass studio is run by the husband and wife team of Neil Hanscomb and Gisela Ruehe, in the historic village of Elora. Established in 1983, Neil and Gisela have refined and developed their craft into a distinguished glass studio and store that specializes in stained, fused and leaded glass window designs.
Our Work
Whatever your space, we are able to craft windows for it. Generally, we’re commissioned windows to provide privacy, or remembrance and develop panels and medallions to accent living spaces. We hand-craft traditional, neo-traditional and contemporary windows right here in our studio.
Inspiration & Upcoming Events
Hanscomb Glass and Bullfrog Power
There is no doubt that the process of making our wonderful creations requires energy. To bend, twist and blow ornaments we use propane gas. To slump, fuse, and anneal glass work we fire electric kilns to some pretty high temperatures. While constructing our modern stained glass windows and panels, electricity is there to power the soldering irons...and to keep everyone safe while working and creating we run ventilation and extraction fans.
35 year anniversary - Hanscomb Glass
March 1st marks 35 years that we have lived and worked in Elora. The studio was originally located in Fergus, ON and known as Boney Fingers Art Glass, but we changed the name by 1988 to “Hanscomb Glass Studio”. Neil always believed that he would be a glass artist until the end of his days and didn’t want to answer the phone as Boney Fingers, officially he said he would never be tired of his own name.
