The Stonehouse of Campbellville has been operating since 1976. During that time we have witnessed the closing of several Toronto stained glass ‘institutions’. These studios became centres for artisans who produced the bulk of locally made stained glass windows.
The most recent loss involves the closing of ARTISTIC GLASS. This studio was founded in 1969 by Joseph Aigner, a third generation stained glass artist. He immigrated to Canada from Germany, having honed his craft in several major European cities.
The store was part of the Dundas St. W. community in Toronto.
Artistic Glass reached out to us to offer us the remaining inventory of windows designed by Joseph and Artistic Glass. We have attached a business card from Artistic Glass to each window from their studio, so you may readily understand the history behind that window.
Here is an article about the history and retirement closing of Artistic Glass:
