C2 glass a Local Artist
My name is Kim Cooper-Chodan and I am a stained glass artist based in Strathcona County, near Edmonton, Alberta. I make every piece you see on this website, so you can have confidence your creation is hand-made by a local Canadian artist. I take my imagination and showcase it through glass. I also take requests for custom pieces, turning your imagination into reality.
Some interesting C2 glass facts...
For the “Sol and Luna” piece I made, there are 227 pieces using 617 square inches of glass. The pieces are wrapped in 100 feet of copper foil. Approximately 1.5 pounds of solder hold the pieces together. Then, 10.5 feet of zinc was bent to form the outer frame. With WELL over 50 hours of work put in, there were a few hiccups. As for number of choice words used –well, a girl has to have a few secrets!

I’m excited to share my C2 glass pieces and experiences with you!
