Venturella Studio
Stained Glass Restoration
Join Royal Oak as we explore the art of stained glass at Venturella Studio. The studio was established in 1985 and specializes in the conservation and restoration of historical stained glass from Medieval Europe to 20th-Century America. We will have a private visit with Thomas Venturella, the owner, operator and Senior Conservator who oversees all of the studio’s projects.
Mr. Venturella’s impressive body of work includes the restoration of pieces at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Cloisters, Christie’s, Inc., Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the New-York Historical Society, Princeton University, and various Tiffany pieces in US private collections.
During our visit, Mr. Venturella will show us some of his current projects—from windows to lamps and other decorative pieces—and discuss his technique and approach towards restoration and conservation.
