Darwin's Studio Information

Darwin's is the home of "one of the premier stained glass artisans in the Midwest". (Ann Arbor News) "On the west side of Chelsea, in the Waterloo Recreation Area, Darwin's Stained Glass and Antique Slot Machines...is an enormous pole barn packed with breathtakingly beautiful stained glass entry doors, lampshades, privacy screens, and ceiling domes, as well as stained, etched, and fused glass pieces with celestial and southwest designs made by Bill Darwin's wife, Marsi. Bill also buys, sells, and lovingly restores vintage slot machines, sleek Bakelite and chrome specimens as gorgeous as they are addictively collectible." (Ann Arbor Observer) Most of our work is created from original designs, made by hand here in Michigan with great care, using skills learned from family members and materials made in the U.S.A. If you value quality workmanship and realize the importance of supporting artists and artisans in our culture, we hope you will consider investing in our work. If you have ideas for pieces in your home, church, or business, please don’t hesitate to inquire.
