Paul Coulaz Master Craftsman and owner of Durhan Studios, has been with the company for over 60 years, directly supervising each project. Paul is highly regarded among stained glass professionals for his outstanding ability to select glass colors that coordinate well with each other in a window and with the setting in which the window is installed. Paul has a unique ability to envision the final lighting effect of the window’s natural setting, so as to accurately assess the finished effect even at the earliest stage of color selection. Paul’s father worked in the Swiss tapestry guild and was an expert colorist and dyer of threads for the tapestry medium. Coming to America from Europe, he met Paul’s mother who was a tapestry weaver. Their talents have passed on to three more generations. Michael Coulaz Paul’s son, is himself a Master Craftsman, and has been supervising and crafting stained glass windows for over 30 years. Michael is an outstanding mechanic ensuring quality fabrication and construction, as well as being a gifted colorist and selector of glass. From the structural elements to the aesthetic appearance, Michael is able to accurately evaluate existing windows in need of repair or see to the execution of new work according to the design needs of the client. Steven Coulaz Michael’s son, carries on the family tradition of excellence in craftsmanship. From the actual fabrication of leaded panels, their careful and secure installation, to custom woodwork for unique frames, Stephen’s work bears the mark of a long family crafting tradition. His work spans the duplication of existing wood moldings to match the originals, to creating new custom architectural applications. Our Clients...
