Cutting Edge Stained Glass

Visual Art – Toronto

My name is Ben Heaton. I have always had a love of art and their different mediums. My parents took me to Dundas Valley School of Art to do family classes on a Sunday. I also spent many vacations visiting different Art Galleries. I finished an Art SHSM in June 2020 when I graduated from Dundas Valley Secondary School. I started stained glass in October 2020 whereby I did a workshop with my Mum. I really enjoyed stained glass and went on to have two different teachers who taught me two different ways of doing stained glass. I decided in February 2021 to start my own stained-glass business and called it Cutting Edge-Stained Glass. I recently did the One of A Kind Show at the Enercare Centre in Toronto and am very happy to be part of the RAW show in June 2024. In January 2024 I won the Canadian Choice Award for stained glass artist. I have completed many custom orders for people in the Dundas Community, the United Kingdom, London, Toronto and Grand Bend. I also donated 33 stained glass pieces to a charity at Christmas 2021. My Custom orders have included pets, Company logos, transfom windows, various panels, sun catchers and garden stakes. I also repair stained glass. Most of my designs are hand drawn patterns. Someone asks me to make a custom piece and I come up with a design, show them and then with the help of my client we choose the glass. My work is simply a way to express my love of stained glass and I hope it brings a smile to your face.
