Custom Castings

Stone Ridge Glass can also create a custom casting of your own hands. You can come to our studio in Waterville, Maine if that is convenient. Or we will mail you a kit we have prepared with which you can complete the first step of the process--the making of a wax positive--in your own home. When you mail this back to us in the same box, we will then use it to create your custom lead crystal casting.
