My husband (Richard Courtney) and I started working in Stained Glass as a hobby back in the 70's. Realizing that there was a need for a Stained Glass retail outlet on the north side of Houston we opened our doors in the fall of 1981 along with Richard's cousin. (That's where the company name originated.)
By 1982 Richard's cousin decided to pursue other options and was no longer involved in the Glass Art Shop. About 14 years later Richard passed away in 1996 and since then I have been the sole proprietor of Cousins Glass Art. I am so grateful for all of the ongoing support of so many friends to be able to continue to serve the greater Houston area.
Cousins Glass Art Studio is located in the heart of Old Town Spring on West Hardy Road. We're really easy to find just about 5 minutes east of I-45 North in Spring, Texas. From I-45 North take Spring Cypress Rd East until you reach Old Town Spring, then continue straight until you come to West Hardy Rd and then turn right to head south. The railroad tracks will be on your left and we'll be on your right. Our workshop is located just behind the original Wunsche Saloon. We've been serving Greater North Houston, The Woodlands, Conroe, Tomball and everywhere in between with Friendly, Courteous and Knowledgeable staff since 1981.
We have a spacious workshop that can be rented during business hours for just $8.00 per hour. This includes the use of all hand tools and glass grinders. There is a small additional fee for use of the shop's electric saws, the Kiln and sandblasting.
We offer classes for groups and individuals.

“As a novice, 28 years ago, I was living in Spring, Texas and I found Cousins Glass Art in Old Town Spring. It is hard to put into words how fantastic and talented they are. Patsy and her assistants are always willing to help and inspire in all aspects of your project from design to framing. They have taught me so much. They make you feel so welcome and I always have a good time when I visit the shop. I cherish the bond that has formed over the years. I have since moved to Louisiana, but when I have a new project I still count on Cousins Glass to get me going."

"I have been doing business with Cousins Glass Art since the 1980’s. On the business side of it the shop’s prices can’t be beat by anyone else in the Houston and surrounding area. The Huge selection of glass is displayed in such a way that it makes it very easy to find the perfect colors and textures for your patterns. They have any and all tools necessary/required for doing glass work… starting with the novice glass artist all the way up to a glass professional."

“I have shopped for supplies and asked many questions for help on a number of things and ways to do things, and have never been more happy to know this shop and the ones who run it are always willing to help.”

"The classes are a blast! Very up beat and fun. They have you buy the basics and they provide the rest. If you are really interested after your class then you can purchase the other tools and they have them right there. On a personal note, the shop is located in and old quaint house in Old Town Spring and the atmosphere is nothing you’ve ever experienced. Everyone is there to have fun with the common bond being a passion for doing Stained Glass. If you’ve never been, you need to visit it will change your life!!!"
