Fractured Glass

This year for their Easter services Nathan Stickling at Northwoods Church in Peoria, IL reached out the the team at Mod Scenes about creating a custom Stained Glass look.

Nathan and the team at Mod Scenes landed on creating 3 different elements: Stained glass chandeliers, large stained glass window arches, and smaller squares stained glass windows for use at their campuses. For the chandeliers, the team at Mod Scenes designed and CNC cut black coroplast frames that folded up and attached together to create an octagonal cylinder. They used colored film to create the stained glass pieces. They created the stained glass for the chandeliers by taping the colored film to clear plastic pieces they cut. They used black electrical tape to help make it look clean and finished.

For the large curved windows and small rectangular windows, the team at Mod Scenes used clear packing tape to attach the pieces. The design of the larger pieces create a 2″ separating between each color that allowed the tape to be hidden, creating a very clean finished product.

The large windows were made up of multiple different sections that bolted together using Mod Scenes connectors and black nylon bolts.

When attaching the colors, they were adhered in a random order to make the design not look to structured.

Mod Scenes has taken this design and turned it into a Mod Scenes Panel that can used to create a similar look or be included in designs with other Mod Scenes panels. You can see it here: Modscenes.com/product/stainedglass

    I’m curious what lights you used and how you placed them to light the panels and chandeliers. Bonus if you have any pictures

    I’m also curious about the lighting! Would love to get ideas on how to light them to use for Easter!

    Sorry I missed your questions! Nathan used VL 2600 Wash fixtures (2 per window). A high power LED wash would also work. The lights were hung near the top of the window and the middle of the window. I will see if we can get some pictures!

  4. Would you be able to customize colors? We currently have stained glass windows in the house, but none on stage. We would love to incorporate them on stage to bring it altogether. This seems like an amazing way! But, we have more blue, teal and red in our current windows. Could you do these colors for us? Thanks for your time!
