Join us for a sunny little project in our Stained Glass Potted Cactus Class!

Whether you're a plant lover, a glass art fan, or just looking for a vibrant piece to brighten your space, this one's for you. No watering required—just good vibes and colorful glass. 🌈✨

In this hands-on class, you'll create a vibrant, medium-sized stained glass cactus—perfect for first-timers or anyone curious about the craft. You'll start by selecting one of our premade patterns and learn each step of the stained glass process, from cutting and shaping glass to foiling and soldering. Our experienced instructor will guide you through the entire journey, offering tips and demonstrations along the way.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a beautiful, handcrafted cactus ready to pot — and a solid foundation in stained glass skills to inspire future creations.

Day 1: In the first class, you will learn about glass types, how to score and break glass for complex pattern designs, grinding the finish shape, and applying copper foil.

Homework: Most students do not finish grinding and foiling their pieces during the inital class. For those that need it, you will be able to book tme in our Glass Studio Thursday - Sunday in between classes to finish.
