Stained Glass Mosaic Night Light Workshop

Get inspired by the art on view in our galleries, and work alongside artist Sue Hill to create your own stained-glass mosaic night light that will cast a warm, colorful glow in any room!
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of glass cutting, assembling, and finishing under the guidance of an experienced teaching artist. Choose to design either a tabletop or wall plug-in light to best fit your vision.
This eco-conscious studio class uses antique, vintage, and recovered glass, creating a minimal-waste environment. Together, we’ll explore the beauty of textures, light, and color while reflecting on the value of repurposing materials in artmaking.
All participants must sign a liability waiver, which can be submitted at the start of the program. Additional copies will be available on-site.
