An 8-week curriculum, accelerated into just 4 weeks.

After learning the basics of stained glass construction in the introductory or intermediate stained glass classes, we invite you to continue to develop your skills in Stained Glass Open Projects. This is a class for those who want to challenge themselves to explore the art of stained glass at their own skill level under the guidance of an instructor. Class projects will be limited to no larger than 16"x18" and students may be required to purchase some of their own materials if the studio glass selection does not meet their specific needs.

You will experience the same number of contact hours as students attending the once-a-week, 8-week classes, but in a condensed, 4-week format.

Class tuition includes 1 session of open-studio time per student to be used during the 4-week course period if needed to complete your project.

Prerequisite: Introduction to Stained Glass or 24 hours of stained glass experience with instructor permission is required.
