Private Glass Instruction✨
Learn stained glass or fused glass in a focused, one-on-one (or small group) setting designed to help you build real skills while creating something you’re proud of.
Private instruction is ideal if you want a personalized experience, flexible pacing, or support with a specific project.
What to Expect
Sessions are hands-on, structured, and tailored to your experience level.
You can choose your focus:
-
Stained Glass (Copper Foil Method) — cutting, shaping, foiling, soldering, and finishing
-
Fused Glass — cutting, layering, design, and kiln-formed projects
We’ll guide you through the full process, with an emphasis on clean technique and thoughtful design.
Project Scope
For your first project, we recommend:
-
Simple, intentional designs
-
A manageable size (typically under 10” x 10”)
-
A clear focus on learning foundational skills
You’re welcome to bring an idea, or we can help you choose a project that fits your goals.
Time & Investment
Instruction
$95/hour (for up to 2 people)

-
Stained glass projects are completed over multiple sessions

Glass purchased separately (typically $40–$100 depending on project)

Kiln firing included for fused glass
All tools and studio equipment are included.
Before Your Session
You can choose your glass ahead of time in the studio, or we can incorporate material selection into your first session.
If you have an idea or reference image, feel free to send it over — we’ll make sure it’s a good fit before you begin.
Who This Is For
-
Beginners looking for a strong, supportive introduction
-
Returning students building confidence and independence
-
Anyone wanting a more personalized glass experience
Due to the use of lead during soldering, we do not recommend students that are pregnant or breastfeeding participate in stained glass instruction.
