Abstract:
Dennis and Sylvia Lackey own Statesville Stained Glass Inc. The 50,000-square-foot studio, thought to be the nation's largest stained-glass studio, employs forty-five artisans. Revenue totaled over $4 million in 2003, with 95 percent coming from churches. The biggest job to date is 108 windows for a church in the Bahamas, and work orders have come from as far away as Japan. The studio completes about 150 to 175 projects a year.
