Stained Glass 201

Practice and refine your soldering, cutting, and grinding skills with a more complex suncatcher pattern

Stained Glass 201 is the perfect way to take your stained glass craft to the next level.


What You'll Learn
  • Refine solder technique (more joins with more complex pattern)

  • Practice fitting multiple pieces together

  • Practice advanced curves and more complex cuts

  • Try out more advanced glass (harder to work with)

  • Enjoy practicing your new found glass skills with a more complex pattern

What to Expect

Using a custom pattern created by your instructor, you will start by choosing glass colors. Then, your instructor will guide you as you complete cutting, grinding, and soldering.


At the end of the class, you'll leave with a completed work of art that you can proudly hang up or gift to a loved one!

All materials, tools and instruction are included. Please wear closed toed shoes to class.


This class is designed for anyone with prior hands-on stained glass experience. Students should have successfully completed one stained glass piece, on their own or in a Stained Glass 101 class at Wheelhouse. Advanced beginners welcome.
