DESIGNERS

MARK KHAISMAN(designed Old Sanctuary Nave windows)

Mark Khaisman was born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1958. He studied art and architecture at Moscow Architectural University. Following his graduation in 1981, Khaisman worked as an architect, artist and icon painter.  After coming to the United States Mr. Khaisman taught a brief course on icon painting at the Fleisher Art Memorial Art School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His career at Willet Stained Glass Studio began in 1991 after several sources, almost simultaneously, mentioned the studio to him. Khaisman continues to live and work in Philadelphia as a stained glass designer for Willet Hauser Architectural Glass and as an exhibiting artist. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe. Samples of Khaisman’s artwork outside of stained glass, as well as a list of his exhibitions and awards, can be viewed at www.khaismanstudio.com.

KENNETH CROCKER(designed New Worship Center windows)

Kenneth Crocker was born in England in 1934. He began his five-year stained glass apprenticeship with J. Whippell and Co, Exeter, England, on his fifteenth birthday. He worked under the tutelage of Arthur Erridge, George Cooper Abbs, and Frederick Cole, some of England’s finest stained glass artists of the day. The apprenticeship required work in the shop on all steps of the stained glass process for four days a week, and formal instruction at Exeter College of Art one day and two evenings a week. At the termination of his apprenticeship, he began drawing cartoons and designing. In 1952 and 1955, he received the annual diploma of merit from the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, the English guild of stained glass artisans; and in 1953 a scholarship (that is, a money grant awarded for excellence) from the same group. Kenneth was elected to the British Society of Master Glass Painters in March of 1961. In 1962, Crocker came to the United States to work for Willet Studios. He left Willet in 1972 and established his own studio. He closed this operation and returned to England in 1991, where he re-established himself with Willet Studios as a free-lance designer. In 1996, he returned to the United States and continues designing fine stained glass for Willet Hauser Architectural Glass, the newly named organization combining Willet Studios and Hauser Art Glass.
