1 on 1 Instruction
With only 2 students per class, you will receive hands-on training you won’t find anywhere else. You will learn about the History of leadwork and the leadlight worker, lead profiles, layout, soldering techniques, and reinforcement to complete your first panel. This is a unique and valuable learning experience for stained glass artists of all levels and all ages.
Build Skills and Save Money
In addition to learning leadwork, we also educate you on how these techniques will save your hard-earned money moving forward. We will teach you there is no need for patina, cooling fluid, cutter oil, or expensive lead stretchers among many other things.
Which Master Class is Right for You?
Our Foundation Master Class is perfect for anyone with no experience OR for those who may be looking to refresh their basic stained glass skills. Your instructor will guide you step by step from your first cut to your final solder joint. You’ll learn why we choose lead over copper foil. Choose from a selection of free patterns, all picked specifically to assure you leave with a beautiful, completed stained glass creation. You’ll leave with the confidence to move forward and take on more complex projects.
Our Advanced Master Class is designed for those with existing stained glass experience, looking to ditch the patina, the foil, and the grinder! Build upon your existing skills to create larger, more complex stained glass panels in the same traditional methods as those found in cathedrals, churches, castles, and fine homes across the globe. These are techniques you won’t find in a book or on the internet. They have been passed down through the centuries from one Master Craftsman to another. And they are now being offered to you!
