Booth Frame

The piece
Empty Blue Canoe stained glass photo booth frame showing amber, cream, and gold leaded glass detail

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.

— from the studio

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.

If you have something specific in mind — different glass colors, a custom size, a matching pair — send a note through the contact page and we'll figure it out.
