Potekglass: Your Creative Glass Art Destination

Custom Lighting & Fixtures: Light Up Your Space with Potekglass
Potekglass is excited to announce the upgrade of our light fixtures! We’ve installed new low-profile steel mounts paired with LED lighting, providing an even-lit, flush design that enhances the beauty of the glass. Whether you're looking for a custom-designed sconce, pendant, or flush-mount fixture, Potekglass offers a wide range of high-quality lighting options available for purchase in-store and online.

These modern light fixtures are perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any room, and we invite you to visit our studio at the top floor of the California Building to see these fixtures illuminated and in action. Each piece is meticulously designed to highlight the stunning craftsmanship of the glasswork, making it an ideal addition to your home or business.

Explore the World of Architectural Glass
We also offer a wide selection of architectural glass, including custom-designed glass installations for public spaces. One of our featured artists, Martin Donlin, is known for his enormous commissions found in airports and other prominent locations worldwide. His most recent commission is a stunning piece at the Hennepin County Medical Center Clinic & Specialty Center in Minneapolis, a tribute to the beauty and functionality of architectural glass.

Donlin’s work, which often combines screening, hand-painting, etching, and polishing, transforms spaces into visually captivating environments. Be sure to check out his work in person when visiting Potekglass or stay updated on his latest projects through our newsletters.
