About Lammers Glass

Lammers Glass is a family business started by founder Jim Lammers in 1972. After years as a freelance technical illustrator, Mr. Lammers completed a 6 year tour with the U.S.C.G. as a darkroom technician and illustrator for the Third District Headquarters on Governors Island, New York. Upon his release from the service he formulated a multi-service art business called Creative Graphics, that specialized in wholesale art sales, which were designed, produced, and distributed along the east coast to hundreds of stores.

While exhibiting in the early 1970's Lammers was approached by Gordon Henderson of Henderson Leaded Glass Works of Rutherford, N.J. Admiring Lammers' fine line drawing, Mr. Henderson offered the young artist a refuge in his stained glass studio to explore his creative potential. This collaboration resulted in a “informal apprenticeship” in the history, design, fabrication, and installation of all types of stained glass work. In the late 1970’s Mr. Henderson retired, it was at that time Mr. Lammers bought his beloved coastal North Carolina Home and Business, a Victorian house which he and his wife Teri lovingly restored.
