Hi, I'm Zee — the person behind Keepsake Glass. It started in my home studio with a simple experiment: what happens when you fuse a photo into glass? I made my first few pieces as gifts for friends and family, and honestly, their reactions caught me off guard. They loved them. So I kept making more, and here we are. Every piece is still cut, layered, and kiln-fired by hand — just me, my kiln, and your favourite photo.

Any digital photo works. For the best results, choose a clear, well-lit image with good contrast. Portraits, pet photos, and couple shots all turn out beautifully. We'll let you know if we think a different photo might work better.

After you place your order, you'll receive an email with a secure upload link. No physical copies needed — just upload your digital photo and we'll take it from there.

Each piece is handcrafted to order. From the time we receive your photo, expect about 2 weeks for crafting and delivery.

Fused glass is created by heating glass in a kiln to over 1400°F until the layers permanently bond together. Your photo is transferred onto white glass and fused into a colored glass background, creating a durable, glossy keepsake that will last a lifetime.

No, the glass piece does not come with a stand or frame. However, there are many beautiful ways to display it — see the next question.

Your keepsake can be framed, placed on a plaque stand, or hung on a wall using plate hangers. Each option gives it a different look — a frame adds a polished, finished feel, a stand is perfect for shelves and mantles, and plate hangers let you create a beautiful wall display.
