Traditional Stained Glass Classes There is something deeply satisfying about creating a stained glass panel by hand. Whether you're completely new to the craft or have always wanted to experience traditional stained glass making, my small, friendly classes will guide you through every step of the process. I offer two traditional stained glass classes, both teaching the same core techniques of glass cutting, leading, soldering, and cementing. The difference is simply the amount of time available to explore the craft and develop your skills. One-Day Stained Glass Class Perfect for beginners, this one-day stained glass course provides a wonderful introduction to the traditional craft. You'll choose from a selection of carefully prepared designs, allowing you to focus on learning the techniques without the pressure of creating a pattern from scratch. Throughout the day, you'll be guided through every stage of making your own stained glass panel, from accurately cutting the glass to assembling, soldering, and cementing your finished piece. By the end of the class, you'll take home a beautiful handcrafted panel and a solid foundation in traditional stained glass techniques. Weekend Stained Glass Course If you'd like a more immersive experience, the Weekend Intensive offers the opportunity to create something that's uniquely your own. The course begins with a relaxed Friday evening session, where you'll develop your own stained glass design with guidance and support. Over the weekend, you'll transform that design into a finished panel while learning the same traditional techniques of glass cutting, leading, soldering, and cementing in greater depth. With more time available, we can explore not only the practical skills but also the principles of good stained glass design, helping you create a panel that is both technically sound and beautifully balanced. Small Classes with Personal Tuition To ensure every student receives plenty of individual attention, class sizes are limited to just three people. This allows for extensive one-to-one tuition, making these stained glass classes ideal for complete beginners as well as those wishing to build their confidence and skills. Whether you choose the One-Day Class or the Weekend Intensive, you'll learn traditional stained glass techniques in a friendly studio environment and leave with a beautiful finished stained glass artwork that you have created yourself.
