Original Stained Glass · Summerville, SC
Light,
Light,
Made Personal.
Original stained glass and private commissions,
created one piece at a time in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Jackson Calhoun
Stained glass should feel as individual
as the space — or person —
it was created for.
Jackson Calhoun creates original stained glass
in Summerville, South Carolina, with an emphasis
on color, natural light, and pieces that carry
meaning beyond decoration.
The studio does not mass-produce collections.
Work is designed, cut, assembled, and finished
individually.
Made One At A Time
There will never be
a warehouse full
of Jackson Calhoun glass.
There will never be
a warehouse full
of Jackson Calhoun glass.
That is intentional.
Each piece begins with an idea and is made individually
by hand.
Only a small number of original works are
completed at any given time.
The result is not simply something to own.
It is something that belongs to you.
Private Commissions
Begin with a person,
a place, a memory,
or simply a feeling.
Begin with a person,
a place, a memory,
or simply a feeling.
A commissioned piece can begin almost anywhere.
The purpose of the process is to translate something
personal into glass, color, line, and changing light.
Meaningful Gifts
Wedding, anniversary, housewarming,
memorial, and milestone pieces made
for occasions where an ordinary gift
simply will not do.
Personal Stories
A favorite flower.
A landscape.
A family symbol.
A Lowcountry memory.
Something meaningful can become the
starting point for an original composition.
“Color is to the eye what music is to the ear.”
— Louis Comfort Tiffany

Inspired by a place
where light is part
of the landscape.
Jackson Calhoun is based in Summerville,
just outside Charleston, South Carolina.
The colors and forms of the Lowcountry —
live oaks, gardens, marshes, coastal light,
historic architecture, flowers, water,
and changing skies — provide an endless
vocabulary for original stained glass.
Created locally.
Made slowly.
Never mass-produced.
“For me a stained glass window is a transparent partition between my heart and the heart of the world.”
— Marc Chagall

The Artist
Jackson Calhoun
A small studio gives every piece
something mass production cannot:
the artist's attention.
Jackson Calhoun is an independent stained glass
studio based in Summerville, South Carolina.
The work explores color, texture, line, and the way
natural light continually changes an object
throughout the day.
Rather than producing large collections,
the studio focuses on individual original works
and a limited number of private commissions.
