Andrew Cary Young

Since establishing Pearl River Glass in 1975, Andrew has always been one of the forerunners in stained glass innovation, pioneering such techniques as fused glass in leaded windows and using the time-honored technique of acid etching in new and modern ways.

Andrew has served as the President of the Stained Glass Association of America. This extensive education in the field includes study with Ludwig Schaffrath, H. G. Von Stochausen, and the master iconographer Vladislav Andrejev. He also received a Degree in “Education for Ministry” from the University of the South in Sewanee, TN, which makes him uniquely qualified to incorporate the subtle aspects of theology into the many church windows he creates. In 1987 he was awarded a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission to see the gothic cathedrals of Europe as well as tour many of Europe’s oldest and most renowned glass companies. In Waldsassen, Germany, he was also given a personal tour of the Lamberts Glass factory.
