The Photo Booth Frame
The Photo
Booth Frame
A handmade stained glass frame built to hold one classic photo booth strip — the kind you pull warm out of the slot at a wedding, a county fair, a Tuesday in the city. Amber, cream, and gold leaded glass. Made in the Rockies, one at a time.
Cut, leaded, and soldered by hand.
Each frame is built from individually cut sheets of textured cathedral glass — warm ambers, creamy opal, hammered gold — joined with hand-pulled lead came and soldered seam by seam. No two are identical. Small variations in the glass and the line of the solder are part of how you know it was made, not manufactured.

Your strip, your frame.
The frame ships ready for any standard photo booth strip (2 × 8 in). Drop in the one from your wedding, your best friend's birthday, that bar in Brooklyn. If you want me to print a digital strip onto archival paper before shipping, leave a note at checkout.
One person, one bench, one piece at a time.
Blue Canoe is a small stained glass studio in the Rocky Mountains. I cut, foil, and solder every piece myself, which is part of why nothing here looks mass produced — because nothing here is. I started the photo booth frame after I found an old strip of my grandparents in a shoebox and realized I had nowhere good to put it. This is where it lives now.
