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.
