What a lovely gem in the small town. The entire staff is so friendly and helpful. This old church is a great setting for what they have to offer. Beautiful butterfly displays and lots of gorgeous Stained Glass. Great place to visit for an hour or two or maybe pick up some beautiful artwork

A hidden gem. Kept driving by this church turned into a studio/art gallery, and finally decided to stop and explore. The owner has a biologist/entomologist background and has a collection of live rare species. He also is a talented artist and has created unique displays using insects and other interesting creatures. The butterfly pieces are gorgeous.

His stain glass pieces are exquisite. He teaches stain glass glasses, has the largest stain glass supplies I have ever seen and repairs stain glass windows. Local artists display their work inside. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Will be back next time I'm in Lisbon Falls.

Very friendly staff, so many many cool art polices to look at. Definitely worth visiting. They do stain glass classes as well as selling glass and supplies for you own projects.

What a fascinating place. We were in town for the Moxie Festival and my 11 year old son loves insects. The mounted insect displays were an unexpected surprise and we toured the entire facility and looked at every piece. The glass work was stunning and made me wish I lived nearby so I could spend more time there and see how they operate on a regular basis. The building itself is even wonderful and old and unique. This place is definitely an asset to the area.

This place is so cool! Tons of glass art and bugs in a repurposed old church with a shop in the middle and a studio in the basement! I just went to see the art/bugs and do some light shopping and was not disappointed! The glass for sale was a little pricier than other locations, but not by much, and they sold scrap boxes by the pound that we're amazing! Could easily spend and afternoon wandering around here!

Unsuspecting treasure trove of creative art displays. An absolute must see if I'm or near Lisbon. Several floors of beautiful stained glass art and other mediums as well. Lots of interesting and cool insect/butterfly displays included in the stained glass art cases. So many awesome art and usable pieces for sale. The people who own it and work their are super friendly and happy to answer any questions. Kid friendly place as long as they're not handsy. My kids LOVE the place. Ask to see the live bugs for added fun!

The stained glass studio is set in an old church and hosts many beautiful stained glass projects big and small. It also holds a huge upstairs collection of exotic butterflies & bugs. The stained glass pieces offered for sale have been handmade by students who have taken a course with the owner Jim and his staff. Classes for stained glass are offered at a very reasonable cost and come with needed materials. Great people and so much to see here. They always welcome visitors and is a must see if you're in Lisbon Falls
