Artists from a variety of backgrounds have found these workshops useful and enjoyable. Experienced stained glass painters have expanded their technical skills, fluency and versatility. Artists of many disciplines, from illustrators to tattoo artists, have transferred their drawing skills to stained glass. Past students include glassblowers, fusers, and ceramicists.

COVID-19 We trust students to protect each other and to protect our small Vermont community from novel corona viruses by getting tested where necessary, especially when traveling on public transport. Please use your own best judgement about when and whether you should get tested for covid-19.
