Welcome to the Tips from the Master series, brought to you by stained glass master instructor Michael Rievley. Here, you'll find helpful, bite-sized pieces of advice for those on the stained glass artist journey, ranging from beginner to advanced.

We understand that not everyone can attend an in-person workshop or an online master class, so for the foreseeable future, we are offering monthly tips for free to the Leaded Stained-Glass community.

At Wabi-Sabi Workshops, we are passionate about this art form and dedicated to helping people make it a part of their life.

We hope these tips will bring value to you. Enjoy!
