Nikki Root has custom designed and handcrafted stained glass windows in Cache Valley and surrounding areas of Utah since 1994.

In addition to her beautiful traditional stained glass, Root now specializes in one of-a-kind, 3-dimensional glass creations which are skillfully crafted from a variety of individually hand-cut vintage bottle and glassware bottoms.Root collects Depression glassware and any interesting glass she can get her hands on to transform into windows, framed pieces and many other things.Root’s passion for glass work began 20 years ago when her family moved from Atlanta, Ga. to build a home in Providence.Their Atlanta home had stained glass windows, a comfort she insisted on having in Utah.To avoid the high cost of purchasing custom designs from a glass company, Root decided to try making it herself..This rest is stained glass history.“Stained glass speaks,” Root shares.“Once you have it in your home, it’s really hard to live without it.”“So I took a class and learned how to cut and solder, and then I took off from there.”
