Shards Stained & Etched Glass Studio

Shards Stained & Etched Glass Studio has been designing, restoring and repairing fine art stained and etched glass windows out of Peabody since 1985, alongside selling glass and tools and teaching classes. The clearest example of actual repair work is a 2022 review from someone whose stained-glass lamp shade lost three panels to a falling picture — the shop fixed it so well the customer said you 'can't tell that anything is new.' Most of what's here beyond that comes from people shopping for supplies or taking lessons rather than commissioning restoration work. Reviewers in 2023 and 2024 describe staff — Kai and, in one review, Joanne — as patient with beginners, willing to look over a project plan and offer suggestions, and reasonably priced on glass. One reviewer called the individual lessons 'fun and challenging.' There's nothing negative to weigh here, though the history is thin and skews toward the retail-and-teaching side of the business rather than repair jobs specifically — worth asking directly about turnaround and pricing for a restoration project rather than assuming from the supply-counter reviews alone.
