*NEW* Classes

I offer weekly classes on site for ANY skill level. Are you completely new to stained glass? Sign up for the 6 week intro course. Are you a pro and know what you're doing but just need the use of a glass grinder or a place to work? Sign up for a weekly spot!

Not sure what stained glass is all about? Beginner classes run once a week for 6 weeks and you learn the basics of the Tiffany method (copper foil) and lead. Glass is not included and the student may purchase this in the first class on site.

You will learn new techniques, intricate tips and tricks as well as tool reviews to make you more confident about attempting any kind of project. Have an idea for a design but have no idea if it would work in glass? Sign up for a spot in my classes. I want to inspire glass artists to attempt any kind of project, 2D or 3D that they're thinking about and most importantly, experiment and think outside the box! If you're unsure of your abilities. I want you to feel confident to dream and attempt anything that's on your mind and not to worry about the details because I'll be here to walk you through it!

Here is an example of more intricate skills I teach once you complete the 6 week beginner course or have experience.
