Artist Peter K. Eichhorn is president and owner of Eichhorn Stained Glass, Inc. of Louisville, a full service glass studio specializing in all aspects of the art glass industry including design, layout, production and installation.

Eichhorn was born and raised in Trier, West Germany where he attended Kuristhhochschule (art school) and apprenticed with Bensfeld Art Glass Company. He won the grand prize in the National Journeyman Competition for Art Glass in 1963 and

He came to the United States in 1965 to supervise an art glass studio in Tulsa,
Oklahoma and later settled in Louisville.  In 1969, he opened Fenestra Studio in partnership with Bob Markert.  In 1985, Eichhorn left Fenestra to start his own art glass studio and has been in operation for almost 22 years.  In that time, he has done commissions for residential, commercial and liturgical glass, including
the First Unitarian Church, Big Springs Country Club and Grace Baptist Church in Brooklyn, NY.  Restoration and renovation commissions include Cathedral of the
Assumption and the Kentucky State Capitol Building.
