The Studio

Glass Visions Studio — Ben Tuna at work

A Family Legacy

Glass Visions Studio was founded by Mark Tuna in 1979 with a singular conviction: that the centuries-old art of handcrafted stained glass deserved a home in Los Angeles equal to its European heritage. From its earliest commissions in Hancock Park to landmark installations across Malibu and Beverly Hills, the studio quickly became recognized as the premiere custom decorative stained-glass atelier in California.

For over four decades, Glass Visions built its reputation on masterful design, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering adherence to historical and architectural accuracy. Working with the most prominent architects, designers, builders, contractors, and homeowners across the country, Mark forged a legacy of Old-World craftsmanship and seamless execution.

When Mark retired in 2021, his son Ben assumed the helm. Under Ben's leadership, the art of centuries-old handcrafted stained glassmaking continues to flourish — advancing the firm's legacy of artisanal beauty and unparalleled craftsmanship into the next century.
