Using colorful sheet glass and traditional stained glass techniques, you’ll assemble a beautiful winter tree design that catches and transforms light. Your finished piece is perfect for displaying in a window or on a wall throughout the season.

Using colorful sheet glass and traditional stained glass techniques, you'll assemble a series of two-dimensional stained glass bulbs that can be strung together as cheerful seasonal décor or used individually as ornaments and gift toppers. Each finished piece brings a playful pop of color and handmade sparkle to the holidays. Each participant will make up to 3 bulbs.

Learn the art of stained glass while creating your very own glass snowflake.

Take your leaded glass skills further by exploring new materials, construction methods, and decorative techniques. In this eight-week course, students will experiment with different lead sizes and profiles, pattern-making approaches, building styles, and finishing techniques while developing greater confidence with the possibilities of leaded glass.

You’ll create two medium-sized panels during the course. The first will be an instructor-led project designed to introduce new techniques and approaches. For the second, you’ll develop your own custom design, with class discussion and instructor feedback focused on how to translate specific design elements using different materials and construction methods.

Throughout the course, we’ll explore overlays, mixed media, decorative elements, and other ways to push beyond traditional leading techniques. The emphasis is on experimentation and creative problem-solving, encouraging students to test ideas, take risks, and discover that there isn’t always a “wrong way” to work with leaded glass.

Ideal for students with previous leaded glass experience who are ready to experiment beyond the basics and develop their own approach to the mediumClass tuition includes 2 sessions of open-studio time to be used during the 8-week course and will be available for scheduling between weeks 5-7 of the class session.

Find inspiration in the iconic stained glass windows of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In this eight-week course, students will study the geometric forms, organic motifs, repetition, and strong linear compositions characteristic of Wright’s Prairie-style windows, then apply these design principles to create an original leaded stained glass panel.

The course focuses on designing for and working with lead came, a traditional construction technique that provides the structural strength needed for stained glass windows exposed to outdoor elements. Students will build upon their foundational knowledge of lead came construction while developing a foundation for creating larger stained glass windows intended for permanent installation.

Final panels will be limited in size, up to 16×18 inches.

Class tuition includes 2 sessions of open-studio time to be used during the 8-week course to complete your panel and will be available for scheduling between weeks 4-6 of the class session.

Prerequisite: Stained Glass 2: Lead Came or 48 hours of similar class experience and instructor permission is required.
