Our Journey

Finding a passion for glass and following a true calling.

GRT Glass Design was created from the inspiration of Greg Thompson, the company’s founder. Originally studying architecture at the Ohio State University, Greg became inspired by those he saw creating amazing pieces of glass. He discovered he had a true passion for stained glass and restoring glass in older buildings to create new pieces. Through this journey, he discovered glass art was his true calling.

Building a Legacy in the Heartland

As his passion grew and he continued to learn the trade, he noticed there was a large need for quality glass services in the market. He wanted to create a company that was willing to consult openly with clients and take on large scale projects.

His journey to meet the demand of clients wanting a unique approach to their physical space or monument led him to Indiana. There were very few providers of quality glasswork located in the Crossroads of America and due to the central global location, Greg founded GRT Glass Design in 1987.

Since the day Greg started on this journey, GRT Glass Design has become a trusted company amongst professionals in the industry, and consumers across the country alike. The company is now the creative force behind some of the most amazing pieces of artwork in cities everywhere
