Stained Glass Ornaments Artesano Stained Glass: In 1996 Hamid Emami began creating his unique line of stained glass suncatchers in Texas. His inspired hobby  grew to become a career for him. He works in a studio adjacent to his house where he lives with his wife and two sons. Hamid's sun- catchers use stained glass, glass beads, copper wire, agates, and metal. He joins the work together using a copper foil technique for making stained glass, where the glass pieces are individually wrapped in copper foil and then soldered to free form wire figures or agates. This is another of our products that are handmade in the USA. .
