Prior to becoming a professional Stained Glass Designer/maker, Michael Stokes obtained a BTEC in Graphic Design followed by a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at the University of Central Lancashire. Other areas of interest include Art History, Architecture and Archaeology.

M.D.S Stained Glass specialises in the design and manufacture of new stained glass windows for churches of all denominations.

MDS also design and manufacture new stained glass windows for historic houses, heritage sites, commercial and domestic buildings.

MDS can design in full colour for a project that is commemorative, celebratory or a memorial. We treat each new window project with a fresh approach using our broad knowledge and wide experience. All new stained glass windows are fabricated in the traditional method, using conventional and contemporary glass painting techniques making each new window very individual and unique.

MDS Stained Glass also offers a full restoration and repair service for vandalised and weather damaged stained glass windows.
