Mission Statement : When Julia Morgan first saw the completed stained glass windows created by her famed stained glass artist Marian Simpson at the Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland in 1928, she exclaimed "Oh, it's bee-you-tee-ful!" The desire to earn a similar reaction from her clients for all of her stained glass projects is what has motivated Margaret Pederson for nearly a quarter of a century. |

Over a period of six years, Sea of Glass Studios has completed the painstaking restoration of 670 windows within the 79 chapels Julia Morgan created at Chapel of the Chimes Columbarium and Mausoleum, a City of Oakland Historic Landmark. Margaret also designed sixty skylights for the newly redone Julia Morgan Chapel there. For this important project, she incorporated Julia Morgan's own tile designs at Hearst Castle, with her favorite fleur-de-lis pattern in celadon colors. This new chapel opened in 2005.

Some of Margaret's recent commissions include Saint Peter's Church in Oakland, where Sea of Glass removed, repaired, and re-installed three large buckled stained glass windows; repairing historic stained glass windows at both Holy Names University and Mills College in Oakland; a new beveled glass entryway for a custom built home in Alamo; a new stained glass window for an architect-designed residence in Castro Valley; and the upcoming restoration of the historic stained glass windows in the 1872 landmark Saint Patrick's Church in San Francisco, which will involve a complete restoration of all of the stained glass windows in the entry doors. Sea of Glass Studios also does emergency on-site repairs of stained and beveled glass. Margaret Pederson's business philosophy can be summed up in her this statement about how she views her mission as the owner of a successful stained glass studio. "The small jobs are just as important as the big ones. Both deserve all the loving care and attention that I and my staff bring to each project, to fulfill the needs of every client. I pour my heart and soul into every project." |
