Studio Policies

Is the studio accessible?

Our space is on the ground floor, but please contact us about specific mobility or accessibility needs so we can accommodate you.

Are children allowed in the studio?

Children are welcome at specific youth or family workshops only when specified. Although we adore all members of our community, we find that children and glass sometimes don’t go together. For safety reasons, regular stained glass classes are for ages 18+ unless otherwise stated. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times when visiting the studio.

Do you collaborate with other artists?

Yes! We love creative partnerships. Reach out if you’re a local maker, gallery, or business interested in working together.

Classes

Do I need prior experience to join a class?

Our “make your own” and 1-day classes are designed for all levels. Whether you've never touched glass before or have years of experience, we’ll guide you through every step in our supportive, creative environment. If you’re interested in continuing your craft, we offer more advance classes for those who have completed our intro instruction or come with a solid foundation in glass art. 

What will I make during the class?

You’ll walk away with your very own stained glass piece, from simple sun catchers to more intricate designs, depending on the class length. Some classes will be focused on a specific projects, and for others you will choose from a selection of templates. 

What’s included in the class?

All tools, materials, and safety gear (like gloves and goggles) are provided. Just bring yourself—plus closed-toe shoes and anything personal you’d like (e.g., reading glasses for detailed work, water bottles).
