PLEASE NOTE : There is a growing demand for lead classes. Leaded windows are the traditional method and, to some purist craftsmen, it's the only legitimate way to create stained glass. This is the only method our studio uses in its own creations and to restore old projects.
​
​In this course, you will learn how to assemble a panel using lead came and how to solder and clean your panel like a professional.

FUSION AND SLUMPING - private sessions
Fusion is the technique of partially melting glass together in a glass kiln to join different elements seamlessly. Glass slumping is when art glass is placed over a glass mold and placed in a kiln. When the temperature is hot enough, the glass will soften and then 'slump' into the mold.
Students can choose their design, cut glass and add glass frit, and stringer embellishments to create their unique piece. When the piece is ready, students will prep the piece for a flat firing in the kiln overnight.
If slumping is also desired, the student will choose from a variety of molds - bowls, square dishes, sushi dishware etc. Fired glass are then placed on their respective molds and set in the kiln for the final slumping firing.
GLASS PAINTING - private sessions
Glass painting material included - all other material extra
​
Call us to book your private one-on-one class and discuss the rates with us.
In this painting class, students will learn the traditional technique of painting on glass to create more intricate and classic pieces. After choosing from a variety of designs, the student will cut and paint the glass. Finally, the piece will be fired to produce the final product.
This class prepares the student for assembly in a home studio, where your next masterpiece awaits you!
