Services
Franklin Art Glass Studios, Inc. was founded in 1924 with three principals, Wilhelm Kielblock, Wilhelm Kielmeier, and Henry 'Elmore' Helf.
Originally located at 135 East Spring Street the company's creation was during the depression.
As the depression deepened and commissions for stained glass declined, Wilhelm Kielmeier pulled out of the company.
This left Wilhelm Kielblock, a noted German stained glass designer and painter, and Elmore Helf, a business man, to reorganize the company.
Elmore Helf was not the first member of the Helf family to run a stained glass studio, his father, Henry Helf, was shop foreman for Von Gerichten Art Glass Company in Columbus, Ohio.

The transoms turned out beautifully and we couldn't be more pleased.
Everyone at Franklin Art Glass was a pleasure to work with.
The two installers were very personable, professional, and did an outstanding job of installation.
I'm so happy that I listened to you and had your firm do the installation rather than our builder.
I don't think it would have turned out as well.
We will certainly recommend Franklin Art Glass to our friends.
To say that we love the window would be an understatement!
During the day, it lends a sense of peace and serenity to our students and staff.

At Franklin Art Glass Studios we know that the idea of creating a custom stained glass window can sound like a daunting task, but we have streamlined the process for you into 4 easy steps to make it both an easy and enjoyable experience.
The first step in the process is to come in and see us.
Some projects may be started with a consultation over the phone (614) 221-2972, using the contact form or via email.
However, a majority of the time we prefer to have an in person consultation to discuss ideas, show you the studio, and our production processes.
