About us
"We believe that the antique glass and (sun)light should do her magic"
CrW Glas in Lood supplies custom work for stained glass in lead and is located in Waddinxveen. As a child, Chris van der Werff was fascinated by bronze sculptures and stained glass. Again and again he admires the Sint Janskerk in Gouda (large collection of stained glass windows from the 16th century) with great admiration. 10 years ago he decided to create his own work in bronze and stained glass and followed various training and workshops led by artists.
