YOU TOO CAN LEARN THE RUDIMENTS OF THE CRAFT OF STAINED GLASS IN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME by enrolling in one of our stained glass courses. We have invested 30 years of effort in bringing this craft to the point where it is no longer a mystery, but a fascinating, entertaining subject in which anyone, regardless of manual dexterity, artistic gifts, or level of confidence, can be reasonably expected to master the basic skills. Our classroom is fully equipped with all the latest tools necessary for the practice of the craft. |

The classroom is also equipped with specialty tools, such as a glass grinder, glass score machine, glass cutting band saw and other devices, which you may wish to use from time to time.

| What You Will Learn In our Beginner Course: We have designed this course for those who have never worked with stained glass, or for those who have a very elementary knowledge. We will teach you how to cut glass, how to work with copper foil and the proper way to solder. We will introduce you to all of the tools of the trade, as well as most of the materials including the various types of glass. When you have completed this course you will have several finished projects to show for it, as well as a mastery of the basic skills used in the craft of stained glass. |  |
| What You Will Learn In Our Advanced Courses: You will want to take this course if you have completed the Beginner Course, or have previously mastered basic cutting and soldering techniques, and want to start on some more complicated projects. We will teach you how to do three-dimensional projects, such as boxes, terrariums. lamps and the like. The instructor will be able to give more personalized attention at this level. Before beginning this course you should have a project in mind so that you can start right in at the first session. |
