Class Offerings

Discover the Art of Stained Glass with Fulcrum Stained Glass!

At our East Greenwich, RI studio, I offer weekly stained glass classes tailored for all skill levels. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned glass artist, there's something here for you to explore and create.

Beginner-Friendly Classes

Are you brand new to stained glass? Start with our 6-hour Beginner Crash Course, a comprehensive introduction to the timeless Tiffany method (copper foil) technique. This class runs monthly, usually on the first Saturday, and includes all materials and tools. All you need to bring is yourself and your curiosity! By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to tackle basic stained glass projects and a foundational understanding of this beautiful art form. Click here to see class dates and sign up!

Advanced and Supervised Studio Time

For experienced artists or those progressing from the beginner course, join our Weekly Studio Time. Whether you need access to specialized tools, such as a glass grinder, or a supportive environment to refine your craft, we offer:

  • Supervised Studio Time: Perfect for tackling complex projects or exploring advanced techniques with guidance.

  • Unsupervised Studio Time: For those who prefer to work independently in a creative space.

If you have a design idea but aren’t sure how to bring it to life, I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way. My goal is to inspire you to think outside the box, experiment with new ideas, and create stunning 2D or 3D stained glass projects. If this sounds like fun, sign up here and I will reach out to you with available dates and times.

Workshops: Host a Unique Creative Experience

Looking for a unique group experience? Host a stained glass make-and-take workshop for your next birthday party, wedding celebration, date night, or a fun night out with friends.

Our workshops are designed for groups of up to 6 individuals or 6 couples, offering an immersive and unforgettable creative three-hour experience. Prices range from $75 to $150 per person or couple, depending on your chosen design. Each workshop focuses on a single design, but you’ll have access to a wide selection of vibrant glass colors to make your piece truly unique.

During the workshop, I’ll handle the glass cutting and grinding, so you can enjoy the hands-on process of lining the edges with adhesive copper foil and soldering. All tools and materials are provided—just bring your enthusiasm and let the creativity flow! If you'd like details or want to plan a workshop for your own group, please sign up here and I will contact you!
