Simple Enough a Caveman Can Do It
About Caveman Glassworks
Veteran-owned stained glass studio in Centerville, Texas
At Caveman Glassworks, we design, build, and restore stained glass with the same care we’d give a family heirloom. Founded by Paul Urteaga, our studio combines traditional craftsmanship with friendly, transparent service—so you always know what to expect and what it will cost before we start.
​
What we do
-
Custom stained glass for homes, offices, gifts, and places of worship—panels, suncatchers, boxes, ornaments, and more.
-
Repairs & restoration for stained-glass panels and Tiffany-style lampshades (by appointment).
-
Classes & workshops for beginners and hobbyists who want to learn at a comfortable pace.​
Our background in service
Before relocating to Centerville, our team supported a church-based stained-glass ministry in the Houston area, where volunteers learned the craft while creating pieces that supported outreach. That experience shaped our studio values today: teach patiently, build with integrity, and use art to lift people up.
