Classes are limited to 6 students

  • Because of small class sizes, students are encouraged to select
    flat panel projects that will involve learning as many cutting,
    construction, and finishing techniques as possible.  

  • Includes 15 hours of instruction + 10 hours of studio time

  • More intricate patterns may be difficult to complete during the 5
    week session.  In this case, every attempt will be made to cover
    each critical step; however, in the event more instructional time is
    required, the rate charged is $15 per hour.

Our goal is to provide you with great value and instruction as you create your stained glass
project.  You will receive a tremendous amount of information about working with glass
during your sessions; nevertheless, you may have scheduling issues or wish to have services
that are not included in the price of the class.  In order to provide you with the best service,
we’d like to share a few policies.

  • If you are unable to attend a class, please let us know before the class begins.  If possible, we
    will attempt to provide you with make-up instruction time.  Due to scheduling complexities, this
    offer can only be extended to one make-up session.
  • Every attempt will be made to help you complete your project(s).  If, at the end of your
    instruction time you are not finished with your project, additional instruction will be available for
    $15 per hour.
  • Additional studio time is available for $2.00 per hour.    
  • If time permits, instruction/assistance with applying metal framing (1/8" U channel) to your
    project will be provided.  This is not normally a part of the SGI instruction, but is provided as a
    courtesy as time permits.   Framing material is extra.
  • Studio time provided with your class must be used during the 5 weeks of instruction and within
    one week following the last class.      
  • Services available but not included in your class fee are:  pattern design/preparation: price
    depends on time involved.  I will certainly help you get started if you'd like to do it on your own.
  • copier services:  black print - 25 cents, color print - 50 cents
  • glass repairs:  price depends on repair and how much you help.  Materials are extra.     
  • metal framing (1/4"+ requiring use of saw):  $15 - $35,  depending on size of project.  Framing
    material is extra.
  • wood framing:  price depends on project.  Framing material is extra.
