My wife (and I) were astounded at the quality of your repair work on the broken nativity ceramic! If you didn’t know it had been broken, you’d never know! You and your staff are truly fine, accomplished craftspeople!

I repaired my heirloom candlestick today and your instructions worked like a charm. Thanks for your consideration in providing not just the adhesive but the custom instructions, Q-tips, and even razor blades!

We can not begin to tell you how pleased we were with your restoration efforts of our bowl & bowl top. We will return if we ever need any repair and send the message to our friends.

I just want the two of you to know how much we love our pantry door. We leave the light on every evening, along with the lights under the cabinets for mood lighting, but mostly because we love the etched glass. Thank you John for creating the piece for us.

I stumbled across your website by accident, and had no idea what I was asking from you was so mundane. After looking at your website, you are truly an ARTIST, and you could have shooed me away because what I was asking of you was so trivial. Instead, you treated me with such kindness and respect that it was truly a privilege to do business with you. You not only saved me a great deal of money for my cabinet glass, but you shipped it well-packaged and affordably! I enjoyed our conversation (and your accent!) very much. Thank you so much!

John & his son did a fabulous job repairing a large glass statue that we purchased in Italy many years ago & shipped from New York to Arizona recently. They did an unbelievable job putting our “Viking” back together even though it weighs about 60 lbs. His concern, caring & helpfulness was beyond the norm as the statue was repaired to its original condition and appearance. We had gotten many opinions on options to repair the statue but they all came back with no hope it could be repaired. Artistry in Glass never hesitated & were very positive from the very first.

I brought to your shop four pieces of a very precious handmade, handpainted & signed, ceramic lampshade. I truly thought it was beyond repair and I was heartbroken. Claire told me that she could repair and re-paint the shade and make it look almost as good as new. She was so cheerful and confident that she made me feel confident that she could really do the repair. When she told me she could do it for $110.00, I told her that if she could really fix it, that price was way too low. She really did it! It is not perfect but as close to perfect as it is possible to be. I am delighted and a little in awe. I do not know how she did it and I am telling all my friends about your wonderful business. Please accept my very sincere thank you.

I wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for doing such a beautiful job in restoring the broken stained glass insert on my antique cabinet. It turned out fantastic! You are simply amazing!

The members of the Patronato Founder’s Circle were positively thrilled with the beautiful crystal pieces you designed for our presentation ceremony. Could not have been better! Again, thank you so much

Impressive professionalism, perfection in repair, and cordial owners. We are so grateful and pleased that a family treasure has been restored. All damage was beautifully reconstructed and made to be displayed again
D. Harris, Tucson , AZ
I have had numerous items repaired here and, without exception, each piece was restored to showroom quality. The repairs cannot be detected even with a magnifying glass! I highly recommend Artistry in Glass for any restoration – glass, porcelain, pottery or crystal. Finally, I would like to emphasize how wonderful the owners are to deal with.
Dick Johnston, The Colony , TX
Excellent, fast service. Soldering repairs were made to my antique chandelier as well as adding matching stained glass. Reasonably priced. Delightful people to deal with.
Helen Landerman, Tucson, AZ
The client was dazzled (actually he could not even detect the repair). He has a huge collection of art from all over the world. Great job from Artistry in Glass
Mike Dominguez, Dominguez Gallery Tucson AZ
We searched several businesses to find someone capable of restoring a badly damaged, expensive, Tiffany-style, glass lampshade. Artistry in Glass got the job done …. beautifully, affordably, and on time.
Rick Rupkey, Sr. Tucson , AZ
John, your awesome workers just finished installing this amazing glass plaque! It’s absolutely PERFECT. Exactly what we wanted. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much to all of you!
Vicki Martin, Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, Tucson, AZ
I’m finally back in Santa Fe after some time in Europe. I unpacked the porcelain lamp you repaired for me and am enjoying it every day. It is truly a joy to me, the last heirloom I have from my mother. Thank you for your good work and safe shipment. Thank you! And may you continue to prosper.

Our family has a Santo Nino de Atocha statue AKA “Baby Jesus”. This heirloom is of sentimental value to our family. It was given to my mother when she was six or seven years old. My mother passed at 83 years several years ago and she passed Santo a Nino to me for his care until I pass on. Well recently Santo Nino got dropped from a shelf and his arm broke off. So we called John Wakefield, Artistry in Glass and kept our fingers crossed that John could repair our Santo Nino. John has such a kind soul and understood just how much this statue meant to me. He repaired all the cracks and created a new piece to connect the arm our family. Oh my God, John is so fantastic, I was truly touched by how wonderful Santo Nino repairs were done. John kept the authentic look to the new parts…its amazing! Thank you John, my heart now is at peace to know that this family heirloom will go on for many generations thanks to your craft

Everyone loves this piece of art.
Thank you for taking the time to make this piece of furniture look one step up.
