Stained Glass Sampler with Sacha Carlos-Raps

The Stained Glass Sampler is a six-week wander through light, color, and technique. Students will primarily work with copper foiling, cutting, shaping, and soldering glass to create small hands-on pieces, while also glimpsing other methods through demos in fusing, enamels, sandblasting, staining, finishing.

Think of it as a tasting menu of stained glass: a little hands-on, a little demo, and a lot of experimentation. By the end, participants will leave with foundational skills, a collection of playful experimental pieces, and the confidence to rent studio time and explore their own projects. This class is about curiosity, discovery, and finding the techniques that light up your creative practice.

What to Expect: This is for beginners but intermediate level students are welcome. There will be a balance between demonstration and practice time, and the students will create their own designs or use patterns using colorful glass. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation. Read more about how to prepare for class on ourRegistration Info page.

While working in stained glass, participants engage in seated and standing activities such as cutting and assembling glass pieces. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity. Learn more about accessibility on our website.

Eligibility: No experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.

We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class. Contact our Registrar of Education, Ari Eshoo, at [email protected] if you have questions about the class or would like to arrange a payment plan.
