New Stained Glass Projects
“A huge thank you for the most wonderful job creating the stained glass windows for Northminster! The planning and creative process was fascinating, and our communication went very smoothly as the windows developed. It was amazing to see how you followed my original artwork and made it come alive. When we visited your studio and watched you cut the glass and assemble the windows, it was a breathtaking experience. We were very excited, but it wasn’t until your team arrived to install the completed windows that we realized the magnificence of this project. Words cannot express our gratitude for such a fine job.”
Suzi, Window Designer, Northminster Presbyterian Church, Endwell, NY
“On the Sunday after the Ascension, we dedicated our new window depicting the Ascension of our Lord. It was a glorious occasion. The window was as beautiful as all the windows you have made for us the past 51 years. Thank you for your professional service.”
Reverend Jeffrey O. Cerar, St. Mary’s Church, Fleeton, Reedville, VA
“Not a day passes without my feeling such gratitude to Lamb Studios for the beautiful stained glass windows at Salemtowne. As light streams through the magnificent colors and reflects on objects in the saal and in the chapel, anyone present almost senses a feeling of holiness and awe. When donors are happy with their gifts, everyone involved is rewarded. Lamb Studios accomplished this for Salemtowne through the windows. We do thank you.”
Kay McGee Phillips, President, Salemtowne Moravian Retirement Community, Winston-Salem, NC
“We would like to thank the artists and staff members of Lamb Studios. By their creativity and professionalism, they were truly partners with us in bringing this work to completion. The colors and concepts embodied in the two windows have been admired and approved by the church congregation. So, we do thank you for your outstanding contribution to Our Lady of the Assumption Church.”

“On behalf of the Manchester Citadel Building Committee, please accept my heartfelt thanks for the beautiful stained glass windows that grace our chapel. From the day that we moved back into the sanctuary, everyone has commented on the brilliance of the windows and the magnificence of the design. They are perfect! More than anything else, I appreciated the way that you combined your artistic gifts with your personal spiritual experience to create a unique expression for worship. When I see the radiant cross and the soaring dove, it enhances my sense of worship immeasurably. Given our experience, we will gladly recommend Lamb Studios to anyone interested in your services. May God continue to bless the important work that you do.”
Michael A. Orfitelli, Chairperson of the Manchester Citadel Building Committee, The Salvation Army, Manchester, CT
“As I read some of the early writings of the Lamb family on Sacred Art and also being a fan of their work in Stanford University Chapel in Palo Alto, I found that you have carried their philosophy of the visual aspects of a sanctuary speaking of God’s beauty and grace. I realize that the 677 square feet of window was a challenge. Your artist (Roy) has created a gorgeous and glorious stained glass window that will inspire and bless all those who experience it. Every time I see it, I am more grateful. Thank you for keeping Lamb Studios in the tradition of the founders. Thank you for helping us to make our response to God a visual and spiritual reality in our lives.”

“We have completed our second project with J&R Lamb Studios. I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to you and the craftsmen at Lamb for bringing our windows back to life. In our first project, we entrusted you with the restoration of three Tiffany stained glass windows. They were transformed from dark, easily ignored windows back into their vibrant artwork for which Tiffany is so well known. In this second phase, we had you change our protective coverings from discolored Lexan to clear laminated glass on four substantial transept and numerous regular sized or smaller stained glass windows. Where appropriate, you removed the windows and performed exterior maintenance and painting. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result.”
Mark E. Goodman, President, Board of Trustees, Morrow Memorial United Methodist Church, Maplewood, NJ
“I would like to thank your staff for the fantastic job you did restoring our stained glass windows. We appreciate not only the beauty and vibrance you were able to restore to our church but also the fact that the structure of each window is once again solid and secure.”
Gary Wilcomes, Window Restoration Committee chair, The Presbyterian Church in Leonia, Leonia, NJ
“At our recent Easter service, I was admiring the fine work that J&R Lamb Studios, Inc. did on the restoration of the stained glass windows in our church. Our congregation can admire the fine workmanship and feel confident that this restoration will secure these works of art for many years to come. Thank you for not only the craftsmanship of your work but for the professional and timely way in which you completed this long-awaited project.”
Andrea Smallwood, Treasurer, The First Reformed Church, Athens, NY
“I just wanted to drop a note of thanks for the amazing work that the J&R Lamb Studios provided to The Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns. For over 20 years, the church has stored a valuable Tiffany stained glass window in its basement. By the time we opened the crates after those many years we had no idea what to expect of the condition of the glass, the possibility of restoration, and the affordability. Your experts provided such helpful guidance that we were immediately encouraged, and our project began. When that window was unveiled in its new home, the response from the gathered was audible. It is simply perfect.”
Reverend Jeffrey Gargano, Pastor, The Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns, Tarrytown, NY
“We had to write to tell just how pleased we are with the windows completed thus far. They look magnificent! Also, to let you know how professional your craftsmen are. They were so patient and also so very careful of their surroundings—cleaning up any mess—and probably leaving their work area cleaner than before they arrived!”
Evelyn Daniels, The Stained Glass Restoration Committee, Cape May United Methodist Church, Cape May, NJ
“The replacement glass pieces that you created to match the broken panels, match in color and style perfectly and are virtually undetectable. We found your installation workmen to be very professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of both scheduling issues and working around other trades. Their workmanship and attention to detail was very much appreciated. Should you require references for future work, we would be more than happy to recommend you to others considering work of this magnitude.”
Reverend Joseph A. Ferraro, Pastor, St. Anthony’s Church, Belleville, NJ
“I would like to convey our thanks for the beautiful and professional job your company did in the restoration of our large and complex La Farge stained glass window. As you know, the window is almost a century old. From the time of our first meeting, your company exhibited a sense of caring and appreciation for the restoration of this irreplaceable window and also a sense of empathy for those of us in the church tasked with this major job. Without hesitation, we would heartily recommend J&R Lamb Studios to anyone who is considering the restoration of a stained glass window of any size or complexity.”
Otto P. Trostel, Stained Glass Window SubCommittee co-chair, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Scranton, PA
“We engaged J&R Lamb Studios for the restoration of two stained glass windows. This work included cleaning, painting, rebracing, matching glass, and changing the aged lead cames. We were fortunate to have Lamb Studios available as the windows needed immediate attention, if we were not to lose them in one of the next storms. What was most appreciated by the vestry and the congregation was Lamb Studios professional willingness to explain in great detail the work they were doing, how they would proceed, and where they needed to be extra careful. The members of the church are pleased with the work done and are amazed at how much brighter the windows and designs are now that they are completely restored and cleaned.”
Jack Messer, Senior Warden, The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, Danville, VA

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping my wife and me with the leaded glass windows for our home in Caldwell, NJ. Your assistance in selecting the type of distorted (textured) glass perfectly matches the existing windows that were put on when our Tudor house was originally built in 1936. Your staff was extremely friendly, professional, and very experienced. I would highly recommend Lamb Studios.”
