Welcome!
We are David and Karen Hoogland.
We became interested in learning the art of stained glass when we were
remodeling our kitchen
back in 1997. Karen wanted a stained glass panel made for one of the corner
cabinets. When we discovered the panel would cost nearly $400, we jokingly
asked the woman who gave us the estimate if we couldn't just take a class
in making the design. She told us, "Sure!" That summer, David
took classes in the craft. In the summer of 2001, Karen also took the classes.
Over the past twelve years, we have made many designs for our home, as well as for gifts. Several years ago, David made some scouting related designs to donate to a silent auction. Requests soon came in for personalized items, such as those displayed on the two scouting pages (listed to your left). This year, we have donated a piece to be auctioned on February, 21, 2009, at The Beverly Arts Center, in Chicago. In 2001, we created our first 3 Boy Glassworks website. Our first out-of-state order came from a Girl Scout Leader in Baton Rouge Louisianna! David and Karen have been active as leaders in Boy Scouts of America since 1996 (David is also an Eagle Scout). We have been doing some "remodeling" on our site over the past few weeks. Look for our new logo and layout to be displayed throughout the site over the coming weeks. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site! ~~David & Karen |
