Glass artist Kugel crafts church windows in Chicago era
Oliver Kugel, a Chicago glass artist from a lineage of wood and glass workers, explains his 25 year career shaping church windows and paintings. He trained little formal schooling beyond a three month course, but his work for Father Flannagan's chapel, St. Paul's House and a Chicago department store reflects a rare, religion‑driven craft in the city. He works 14 to 16 hours daily to meet demand, hoping his two sons, Peter and Owen, may follow.
