Alex - Founder & Creative Director
Alex is the founder of Cuddle & Shine and the creative mind behind our designs. The very first stained glass portrait he made — of his dog Leo — is still part of our studio today. It reminds us how important it is to get the details right, because every pet has their own look, personality, and story.
From Our Studio to Your Home
Our portraits are handcrafted in our studio by experienced artisans who have worked with stained glass for years. We’ve handled all kinds of photos, breeds, poses, and lighting conditions — and we know how to translate them into glass.
We pay close attention to the small things: the shape of the ears, the expression in the eyes, the posture that feels most “like them.” Every piece is carefully made, step by step, until it feels right.
We’re not just making stained glass. We’re helping people keep a part of their companion close, in a way that lasts.
