Tumbleweed Stained Glass Retail and Custom Shop was established in 1995. We are one of the oldest, locally owned and operated Stained Glass Shops in the Valley. Located in Mesa, Arizona and with over 40 years experience, the Shop is owned and operated by Fred and Roseanne Newton. Roseanne began her adventures in Art Glass in 1974.
By 1978, she was working in a full service Art Glass Shop, designing, fabricating, repairing and restoring leaded windows, along with teaching beginning and advanced stained glass classes. Prior to opening their retail shop, Roseanne, along with Fred's help, designed and built hundreds of custom-made stained glass windows at their Studio in Mesa, Arizona.

The entry way of your home is the first impression you make with your guests - fortunately for us, houses in the valley usually have some sort of potential to receive art glass. Whether it be door panels, a simple side, two transom windows, or a full wrap around with a door. Whatever the case, may be, you can trust Tumbleweed Stained Glass to create the perfect artistic stained or leade glass solution to beautifying your home.
Everyone of our stained glass windows is custom designed, clearly representing our commitment to superior quality. We can design decorative windows to any suit any idea or motif you have in mind, and can create them to fit any sized window. At Tumbleweed Stained Glass we provide high-quality stained glass services that are tailored closely to your visions.
Home builders in the valley love to utilize unusually placed and odd shaped windows in the homes they build. These are often arches, transoms, arabesque, trapazoids, ovals, landing windows, sky lights, large bathroom windows, and more. Unfortunately often these openings just let the sun and heat into your home or give you a view of your neighbor's roof line or wall.
Since the beginning, Tumbleweed Stained Glass has been beautifying ordinary kitchen cabinets into unique works of art. We work with the most reputable cabinet companies in the Valley. Also, we deal directly with you, the homeowner, to help you achieve a new design idea, whether it be choosing just the right style, texture of glass or designing and building a beautiful leaded glass panel for your cabinet.
Fused glass, otherwise known as warm glass, has been and exciting medium for the professional and hobbyist glass artist alike. More and more folks have been experimenting with this art form. Although you can take a scientific approach with this art form, you can also have tons of fun and create beautiful works easily with very little experience.

I dropped of what should have been a simple repair in April. Never heard anything back about it. I had to go out of town for a family issue, when I got back i called in August. I was told nothing had been done, but it would be completed the followin Tuesday. Now 3 weeks later I went and picked it up. I won't use them again.

I cannot say enough amazing things about them! I have always wanted a stained glass window in every house I lived in and now I can say I do!!!
First of all, from the first day we walked into their shop just to inquire about the process, they were so friendly and informative. Roseanne was so gracious in going through all my "screenshot pictures" to get an idea of what I wanted. She also has an album of their amazing work.
A couple of weeks later she had a sketch for us and helped us pick types of glass for design. I cannot be more happy in the design and artistic choices she made in

I can't say enough about the team at Tumbleweed. We had a 200lb. Great Dane decide to try to intimidate an Amazon delivery person by standing on his rear paws and smashing our stained-glass front door side window.
While the security camera caught the event in brilliant video (and audio), the horror of the damage to the glass really killed the viral-video moment for us.
Fred, Roseanne and Mike turned an awful situation into a great one by removing the entire panel (no easy feat), taking it back to the shop and returning it in better condition than it was.
They are the perfect balance

I'm restoring a 1913 Stanley 4 foot mahogany level and the 6 pieces of oval glass which protects the bubble vials were broke. Stanley said they did not have any parts for something that old. I tried several glass shops and all recommended I try Tumbleweed as they possible could cut my small oval shapes. I stopped in and right away was helped. I thought I'd have to wait, but.... Roseanne told me she would make them now. It took about 15 minutes and I was out the door a VERY happy customer!
I would recommend Tumbleweed to anyone looking for intricate cut glass as they went above and beyond

I came into this store because I was hoping to have them fix a decorative painted glass I've had for many years. The woman said "oh no honey, that's a cheap Chinese thing you can replace for $20." Well, I bought it for $100 fifteen years ago with a gift certificate from a friend who knew I was furnishing my first house, and I treasured it, no matter its value. Thank you for your kindness.

We had a transom window designed by Roseann and it was installed last week. We picked out the colors and gave her an idea of the geometric type design we wanted and she came up with an absolutely beautiful layout and piece of art. It is remarkable. The installation was also done very professionally. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend her.

I had a round window in a bathroom that needed to be replaced. We decided on a stained glass window. Roseanne was a pleasure to work with and creating a design of what I wanted and then also in the help in picking out the glass which I had no experience in. Fred and his worker Jessie were very efficient in installing the window. I had no idea how this was all going to come together and needless to say I was more than thrilled with the finished product. I have a piece of artwork in my home. I already got a compliment from my neighbors. The project took about 4-6 weeks and it looks stunning. Definitely

My husband and I drove over from North Phoenix to check out this shop as I'm just beginning to learn stain glass (foiling). The owner was extremely helpful, took quite awhile explaining and teaching me some things. We ended up buying a grinder, custom grip cutter and table top foiler! I now have the equipment of experienced people...now continues my joyful challenge to learn! We will be back-worth the drive. I plan to take a class there in the near future! Thanks, Roseanne!!

This post is from Roger Bowser but Terry agrees fully. WOW!!! OK, if you want the best job at the best price in the Valley, LOOK NO FURTHER!! I had Tumbleweeds create a side window to match the insert in my stained glass door and it could not have been more perfect. I mean really great. Roseanne was wonderful to work with and the window was spectacular. Five stars really isn't good enough for the service and product that I got, they deserve 6. RB

The panel they made for me is just beautiful. Roseanne walked me thru the design and glass selection process, and the piece is just gorgeous, and coordinates perfectly with the rest of our house. This little shop is busy all the time, with customers commissioning new art, bringing in pieces for repairs, shopping for supplies for their own projects, attending classes, etc. Highly recommended.

Our leaded glass lampshade was squished during a move. We connected with Roseanne at Tumbleweed to help us with the repair. She was very pleasant, professional, down to business and reasonably priced. She estimated that the repair would take about a week, and we were excited to hear from her just two days later that the repair was complete. We're very happy with the quality of the work, and would not hesitate to recommend or return for anything stained glass related.
Many thanks, Tumbleweed!

My husband and I took a beveled window that had been damaged in our move to Arizona to Tumbleweed Stained Glass. We also took a stained glass lamp shade that was broken in a couple of sections. We just picked both up this week. The window was over 100 years old and came out of my grandfather's home - so a very special piece. The thicknesses of the glass were different and because the leading was SO very old it all had to be taken apart and redone. This window looks spectacular! They did such an amazing job! Can't wait to find a perfect place for it in our new home.

We were told about this shop by the makers of our custom doors. The entrance to our estate needed a custom window made to match our unique doors. Their design work was amazing! The windows matched the doors exactly and the quality of the craftsmanship is impeccable. This company is a true family business that has real pride in their work. The installation was also top notch. We will use them again for all of our custom homes. Thanks for the GREAT product and service.
