You imagine it. We shape it in glass.

Fabrication services at Helios with Kristine Shafer

Translating your creative vision into lasting, site-specific public art is no small task — especially when durability, weather resistance, and visual impact are essential. That’s where we come in. We specialize in fabricating custom fused glass elements that elevate your work into vibrant, permanent installations. Even if you’ve never worked with glass, we guide you through every step — from material selection to fabrication — helping you discover what’s possible.

At Helios, we don’t just fabricate — we collaborate. We listen closely, study your designs, and find artistic solutions that honor your intent while meeting the demands of public space. Whether you’re imagining intricate details, large-scale forms, or colors that endure for decades, fused glass can bring your work into radiant dialogue with the world. Let’s build something unforgettable — together.

Our Values

Collaboration

We don’t just fabricate — we co-create. It’s a privilege to work alongside artists, listening and translating their ideas into glass with precision and sensitivity. We can provide deep technical knowledge while honoring your creative intent, working with you from concept through installation.

Innovation

We help artists explore what’s possible in glass — even if you’ve never created the medium before. Problem-solving is at the core of what we love: finding material solutions for aesthetic challenges, translating complex drawings into physical forms, and pushing the boundaries of how glass can function in public space.

Community

We believe that public art is ultimately for the people — and the process of making it should reflect that. Whether it’s through hands-on workshops, collaborative design moments, or facilitating local participation in the making process, we support creating art with the people it’s meant to serve.

Craftsmanship

Every piece that comes out of Helios reflects a commitment to excellence. Whether it’s a large-scale public work or a small, intricate element, our fused glass pieces are defined by quality of design and centuries-tested durability. You can trust us to elevate your work through masterful control of technique and design.
