Tumbleweed Stained Glass 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.
Services
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. Here are some examples to give you an idea of what can be achieved.
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. We carry and have available over 260 types of textured clear architectural glass, ideal for cabinet fronts and fine furniture.

This place is awesome! Large variety of glass, many beautiful stained glass items and very helpful staff. This was our first time there because I broke the glass in our china cabinet, trying to move it. We will be back. Great store!

Tumbleweed has an excellent selection of different stained glass all at reasonable prices. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and I've learned a lot just by going there and asking questions. They do awesome restoration work of old leaded stained glass. Highly recommend.

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.

So, so rude. My boyfriend and I were just looking for some glass to work on a new project with and were treated like idiots for asking for clarity on some colors. We were pretty desperate for a diamond grinder bit, but even with that desperation we walked away. We understand that with the pandemic there are struggles owners of businesses face, and we weren't upset that we weren't allowed in to browse, just hoped to support local instead of purchasing online.

We were, however, incredibly frustrated that the woman who "greeted" us treated us like we never should have been there, and made us feel stupid for asking questions, or even trying to make stained glass. We would much rather drive further for better service, I went to Kachina Stained Glass before their temporary closure and despite being 20 minutes further away we will be going again. I would NEVER recommend, I don't know how you can have a business that is so focused on working with customers and be so miserable and mean.

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 selecting the glass! When Fred and Mike came to install the window they were very professional and super friendly. They cleaned and touched up after. I definitely recommend supporting this local business for all of your stained glass needs! LOVE!

I have been in the store twice only because other shops were closed. I do not recommend this place! Both owners are rude and not at all helpful! They are way overpriced as well. Go elsewhere unless you enjoy being treated poorly. I will not be back!

Roseanne helped us design sidelights for our front door and her artistic talents were right on. Fred and Mike did a great installation job and we are thrilled with the whole process from design to finish. We had time constraints and they finished really fast before we left town. The whole gang was warm, friendly, and professional and we would recommend them to anyone.

Probably some of the worst customer service. I go in there looking for some glass for a lamp I'm working on and start looking around. I'm looking at some pieces and one of the worker is telling me to stop looking because they don't have other pieces of glass and that's it. So without even nowing what I'm working on she assume it's not going to work.

I was fine with it and look at some bigger pieces and ask if some she knew anything similar to what I was looking at and she just said no. I was a little taken aback about how rude she was with the whole thing. Then I had two small matching pieces that I thought might work but just needed one more smaller piece and it would but the employee just say "well you're not going to find another piece so I'm going to take this one" and takes one of the glass piece for one of her own projects that she was working on when I wasn't even finished looking and she had told me earlier that I would not find the second piece to begin with.

I am shocked that this place has such great reviews, it's either friends of the store or other stained glass snobs that they now. I don't know if the glass world is not very inclusive or has cliques but I could definitely tell she did not want me in there. So I guess be wary if you're new or don't know them because they probably will want you to leave, also cheaper just getting it online and closer since I drove an hour to get here

68 miles round trip for me and WORTH EVERY MILE! Friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Don't trust your leaded and stained glass to anyone but the best: Tumbleweed!

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 of art and science and their quality of work is phenomenal. We also appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail. If you have any stained-glass needs, look no further than Tumbleweed Stained Glass. And if you have a Great Dane, try to teach him/her the finer points of restraint and the importance of Amazon delivery personnel.

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 for me!

We brought a damaged stained glass lampshade to Roseanne for repair. What a superb and professional repair. The finished lamp came out looking far better than the one we brought her. Thanks so much!

We love Tumbleweed Stained Glass! The store has great examples of stained glass, fused glass and mosaics which are beautiful! I bought some glass and supplies for a new project and Fred was very helpful and quite knowledgeable. Tumbleweed has classes as well. I will definitely be back.

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. Barb and Paul Johnson, Mesa, AZ

Working with Roseanne, was awesome. She was so patient with us as we tried to describe how we wanted our window to look. The final image was more then we could hope for. We would highly recommend her and her shop.

Stopped in to see about setting up a shop in our park. Rose, the owner, was so helpful with suggestions and advise. Will definitely be going back to see her. Her shop had everything that you needed for stained or fused glass. Nice people.

After being turned down from custom glass shops throughout the valley, Rose is the only one who took the time to work with me. Great atmosphere, very knowledgeable of what they do, and very helpful. This is the kind of customer service that I'm use to back in the Midwest. Just a great place all around, and I highly, highly, highly recommend Tumbleweed Stained Glass to whoever need this kind of service and expertise.

All I can say is it's beautiful! Tumbleweed custom made a stained glass insert for the new transom between our master bedroom and newly remodeled bathroom. Great workmanship and it is the the finishing touches to our remodel

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.

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. The stained glass lamp shade is perfect. You could not tell which panels were replaced. They do beautiful, beautiful work. They are very busy and you may have to wait awhile, but, believe me, it's worth the wait! Highly recommend them! They quoted the price upfront and stuck to it. They are really customer service oriented. I called today to thank Roseanne for the beautiful job they did on this window.

This is my favorite place in the area to shop for glass fusing supplies. Prices are reasonable and more importantly, the owner is knowledgeable and super personable. Every time I stop by we end up chatting even after I've finished shopping. When another customer comes in, we all end up talking. It's just a really comfortable and inviting place, where they just happen to sell things I need.

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!

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.
