Scroll down for dates, topics, slides and transcripts for Teatimes past and future.

Teatimes are FREE, informal, seventy-five minute Zoom gatherings to talk about stained glass. I warm up with a short slide presentation, then move to general conversation and Q&A. Think of it like popping over to my house for a studio visit and afternoon tea.

I hold Teatimes on the first Saturday of the month, at 11am Eastern Standard Time (US & Canada). My next Teatime is Saturday April 5th, 2025. We will talk about the seven different types of drawing needed to execute a stained glass commission with confidence.

Each Teatime focuses on a specific topic within stained glass design, practice, or the Coombs method of glasspainting. Scroll down for dates and transcripts. Email me to request a topic. For those who have asked, yes, I still plan to post transcripts and slides from past teatimes. I just haven’t quite got there yet!
