Join us for a bright and sparkly winter project in our Stained Glass Snowflake Suncatcher class! ❄️✨
Whether you love cozy winter décor, shimmering light, or simply want to try stained glass for the first time, this class is a fun and creative way to learn the craft—no prior experience needed.
In this hands-on, two-day Stained Glass 101 class, you’ll create a beautiful stained glass snowflake suncatcher using the copper foil (Tiffany) method. You’ll choose from studio-provided snowflake patterns and select glass colors that make your piece truly one of a kind. Our experienced instructor will guide you through each step of the process, with demonstrations and plenty of individual support.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a finished snowflake ready to hang in your window—plus a solid foundation in stained glass techniques you can build on in future projects.
Day 1:You’ll learn about different types of glass and color selection, how to score and break glass for precise shapes, grind pieces to fit your pattern, and apply copper foil.
Between Sessions:Most students don’t finish grinding and foiling during the first session. If needed, you can book additional time in our Glass Studio between classes to complete your pieces.
Day 2:You’ll solder your snowflake, add hanging hardware, apply patina if desired, wax and polish your finished piece, and leave with a sparkling stained glass snowflake suncatcher ready to display proudly.
