Stained Glass Design and Applied Glasspainting
11-day (13 night) residential retreat-workshop in Vermont USA
Upcoming course dates are listed on our 2025 schedule
Design, cut, paint and fire a stained glass panel in your own style with personalized tuition and coaching in this in-person workshop in Vermont USA. In-person workshops are immersive creative retreats in a quiet forested location designed to encourage students to find their unique voice in stained glass.
I teach the traditional British method for creating transparent kiln-fired stained glass. This workshop includes slide presentations, demonstrations, group exercises and individual assignments. In the first week students sketch ideas; learn how to translate images into tracelines; assemble these into a composition; make a cartoon; a cutline; and learn how to select glass. The sixth day is spent glasscutting and the second week glasspainting.
In this workshop glasspainting is done entirely by hand using my proprietary recipe and application techniques. To be eligible, you must have completed either Trace and Texture: an introduction to kiln-fired glasspainting workshop, or this online Zoom course of eight introductory glasspainting classes. Questions? Email me your phone number to schedule a call.
This advanced level in-person workshop costs $2,732 all-inclusive for eleven days tuition, thirteen nights self-catered accommodation, and basic materials. Maximum four students per workshop. Each student will design, cut and paint one 9” x 15” panel of stained glass to be assembled later in their own studio. Colored glass is available to purchase at cost.

Artists from a variety of backgrounds have found these workshops enjoyable and profitable. Experienced stained glass painters have gained technical skills, ease, and greater versatility. Illustrators and tattoo artists have transferred their drawing skills to stained glass. Past students include glassblowers, fusers, and ceramicists.
