About Us
Our Story
LeadHead Glass terrariums are handcrafted by us, Chad and Derek, utilizing traditional stained glass techniques. Each glass piece is meticulously hand-cut, wrapped in copper foil, and hand-soldered in our Michigan studio. Our enthusiasm for stained glass and plants inspired us to establish our company in 2013 and begin making terrariums.
Our terrariums are modeled after the 19th-century Wardian cases, updated with a modern design. Originally, Wardian cases were used to transport exotic plants worldwide and now provide the perfect environment for nurturing a miniature garden. Terrariums require less watering than traditional houseplants. Daily, as they receive sunlight, condensation forms on the terrarium glass, which then returns to the soil as the glass cools in the evening.
Our collection is continually expanding with new designs and styles, and we also delight in creating custom stained glass projects for our clients. For a glimpse of our latest work and a peek behind the scenes, follow us on social media.
