Community MessageBeginning at noon in the Community Room at the Greeley History Museum, 714 8th St., Jane Watkins will present “Colorado 150 Families: Watkins Stained Glass Legacy with an emphasis on St. Peter Catholic Church, Greeley.”
The program will explore her family’s centuries-long history of creating and restoring stained glass, including the restoration of the historic windows at St. Peter Catholic Church in Greeley.
Attendees will learn how stained glass is designed, crafted and restored using techniques that have been passed down through the Watkins family since 1761 in England and 1868 in Colorado.
Phil and Jane Watkins operate the award-winning Watkins Stained Glass Studio, creating custom stained glass for churches, homes, businesses and mausoleums while continuing traditional craftsmanship dating back more than 250 years.
In May 2026, Colorado Preservation, Inc. honored the studio with its Sage Award for outstanding historic preservation work.
