Artists

  • Stew Langer

    Stew Langer started his career in glass in the early 70s, and his own business in the mid 80's.

    A minor claim to fame is that his work could be seen in almost any major city in the country, as he wrote the specifications for the stained glass that has been a feature in over 1000 Applebee's restaurants. . After operating as Stained Glass & Design Company for 12 years, they started the UroGlass glass concept in 1999, inspired by meetings with glass artists on a trip to Australia. UroGlass architectural glass and custom products are now distributed across the US and to dealers in Canada and Bermuda.

    Today, with Stew Langer at the helm, SG&D Studio and UroGlass Design serve the needs of residential, commercial, liturgical, health care and hospitality clients. Almost any type of decorative specialty glass is available from these two companies, who continue to be a valuable resource in the midwest, and across the United States.
