Studio Winterich

Philosophy\nAfter working in historic worship spaces across Europe and the US in his family-owned liturgical arts studio, Daniel Winterich became interested in creating the same inspirational qualities of light within contemporary environments. The goal of his studio’s work is to create memorable places through light and light-altering materials. His practice, Studio Winterich, is a multi-discipline studio pursuing commissioned permanent and temporary art installations, design, and architectural projects.\n\nOrigins\nRaised in a five-generation family business devoted to the liturgical arts, Daniel Winterich’s training in stained glass, painting, and mosaic work began in 1974. His extreme attention to craft, materials, and design details developed over these early years while working on ecclesiastical projects across the Midwest and southern states.\nUpon completing his undergraduate design degree, Daniel’s interest in integrating art and architecture led him to work with three award-winning architectural firms from 1984 to 1994 and become a registered architect.\nDuring his studies at the University of Cincinnati School of Architecture and Interior Design, Daniel expanded his education at the German stained glass studio Oidtmann Glasmalerei in 1982, where he apprenticed in glass painting while working with Germany’s leading glass artists.\nAfter studies under Johannes Schreiter in 1994, one of Germany’s most renowned glass artists, Mr. Winterich started his art and architecture practice through Studio Winterich, where he pursues large-scale site-specific installations, autonomous artwork, and architectural projects.
