Henry Lee Willet

edit

Henry Lee Willet (DOB - DOD), William's son, took over the studio after his father's death. Under Henry Lee's guidance, the company expanded from a regional studio to a national studio, with completed projects in all 50 states and 14 foreign countries. Willet Studios experimented with new techniques, and in the 1950's, became one of the first studios to design and fabricate dalle de verre. Under Henry Lee's direction, the studio also developed the famous sculptured gold window technique and experimented with different methods of laminating stained glass.
