Special Places: Berg Studios, Lubbock
Special Places Berg Studios, Lubbock
Stained-glass church windows may have originated in Europe, but Lubbock’s the unlikely location for one the largest workshops in the country. Berg Studios’ inspiring work is found in churches and universities around the nation, and it’s one of the reasons Lubbock houses of worship are so rich in stained glass. The studio welcomes tour groups, who can see how windows are designed and crafted into spiritual works of art. It’s even possible to arrange for a bus tour of Lubbock’s most notable windows. One, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, depicts the journey families took from Mexico to the Lubbock region, with Our Lady of Guadalupe watching over their progress. Other designs range from abstract rose windows to scenes with angels, doves and other biblical themes, like the burning bush. Projects can be as large as 40 by 60 feet and may take more than a year to construct. Bus tours arranged through the Lubbock CVB: visitlubbock.org.
