Lazy Cat hot shop door stained glass panel

Lazy Cat Glass is part of Degenhardt Glass Studio, a long established stained glass studio founded in 1993. I started blowing glass to make rondels like the ones in this stained glass door panel that leads to our hot shop.

But you can’t stop with just rondels once you get the hot glass bug, so I started making drinkware, bowls, bowls, platters, decorative pieces like pumpkins, cactus, mushrooms etc, and lighting. This whimsical website is intended to be a fun little shop to sell these items and take custom orders if we don’t have what you’re looking for.

Jack

Jack began learning stained glass from master glass craftsman Patrick Clark at Sunlites Stained Glass Studio in Spokane Washington in 1982 at age 12. By 17 he had moved to New York City. Originally to work on a church restoration project, but went on to work for many prestigious studios in NYC and then found his own studio, Degenhardt Glass Studio, in Brooklyn in 1993. He started blowing glass in the mid 90s at Urban Glass, mostly assisting friends, after a brief hiatus (20 years) from blowing glass he took it back up in 2020. In 2002 he relocated to the Austin TX. area where the studio is today. 

Happily blowing glass
