About us.
Rayer’s Bearden Stained Glass is one of the largest stained glass retailer/suppliers in the country and has been in business for over 40 years. Our CEO, Randall Rayer, started the National Board of Art Glass Retailers in early 1980. Randy also won the first National Glass Gallery of the Year award given by the Stained Glass Association in 2007. Our staff is rated among the top stained glass artists in the nation, known for our superior quality and attention to specific needs. Our success lies in the old-fashioned values we instill in our craftsmanship. Specializing in all phases of glass work, everything is designed and fabricated by a collaboration of artisans tailored to meet the individual needs of the customer. We have done thousands of custom panels for residential and commercial installments, including museums, celebrities, casinos and even the White House. A few installations include: The Cosmosphere Smithsonian, the McPherson Library ( McPherson, Ks), Bill Kurtis’s Art of the Prairie Gallery, Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral (Hays, Ks), Kansas Star Casino, Reformation Lutheran Church (Wichita, Ks), Bobby Unser (world renown race car driver), James Irwin (Astronaut, walked on the moon), Michael Garmin (Western Art Sculptor), George Brett (KC Royals Player) and more.
As the Midwest’s largest supplier of glass, Bearden’s also has become a known supply hot spot for small shops and artisans. Bearden’s sponsors several high school and college art programs and donates routinely to art education fundraisers, along with offering internship programs. What makes us unique is the gorgeous loft gallery displaying in-house, local and international art that is hard to come by. We are widely considered to be one of Wichita’s finest gems. We have been featured in several national magazines. People come in from all over to experience our gallery and watch artists work on our latest commissions.
