Please note that this class is NOT recommended for those that are pregnant or breastfeeding.
From my studio in Burlington, VT, I design and build stained glass windows, panels, and lamps – and repair windows or lamps that have encountered baseballs or other mayhem. Inspired by an exhibit of 800-year-old windows from Canterbury Cathedral in England – seeing how they looked before, during, and after restoration – I took beginner lessons in a studio more than 30 years ago. I pursued stained glass as a hobby for many years while working as an editor and publisher. More recently, glass has become a full-time occupation that brings me great joy!
