6:00 PM - 8:30ish PM

Create a luminous stained glass panel that reveals a little surprise: the bold geometric shapes come together to spell LOVE.

In this beginner-friendly four-hour workshop, you’ll select the glass colors and textures that speak to you, then watch demonstrations of the essential Tiffany-style stained glass techniques. You’ll practice cutting and grinding a few pieces yourself, while most of the shapes will be precut so you can spend more time assembling the design and experiencing the magic of the process.

Once your glass is fitted together, you’ll wrap each piece in copper foil and solder the entire panel into a finished work of art. The completed piece measures approximately 8 × 8 inches and is ready to hang.

No previous experience is needed, and all tools and materials are provided. This workshop is a joyful, approachable introduction to stained glass and is especially recommended for anyone considering our four-week Stained Glass 101 course.

Come play with color, light, and meaning—and leave with a handmade reminder to put a little more LOVE into the world.

**Please note that color selection varies. Due to supply issues, traditional pinks/reds may not be available. Remember - love comes in many colors!

Come make something juicy. In this playful stained glass class, students will create a 6-8” tall fruit or vegetable suncatcher using the copper foil method. We’ll cut, grind, foil, and solder our way through a bright, beginner-friendly project that feels equal parts garden stand, picnic blanket, and tiny glass magic.

Perfect for returning students craving a simply sweet reintroduction to glass.

Please note: This is a one day workshop for those who have previously taken a class with Vanessa. You MUST have instructor permission to enroll. Ineligible enrollments will be cancelled.

Please wear closed toed shoes.

Create your own tiny Tiffany - an 8” stained glass window in the copper foil tradition and connect with an old-world craft through every careful step.

More than a finished project, it’s a chance to slow down and experience the quiet satisfaction of shaping glass into light.
