About this Event

Led by glass artist Laura Beth Konopinski in her cozy midtown Longmont, CO studio, this class is your ticket to mastering the basics of stained glass through creating a window panel. We're super excited to offer this extended stained glass class! We will meet for 6 Sunday afternoon sessions, May 11- June 15 from 1:00-4:00pm.


ALL levels are welcome!

This is a beginner class and no experience is required. This class can also serve as a great refresher course for anyone who has previously worked with the techniques of making stained glass.


All tools and materials are provided at the studio while creating your project. By the last class, you'll have a beautiful piece of art to proudly display in your front window!


In this class, you will:


  • Select your design and choose your glass hues
  • Shape, grind, foil and solder: Learn to cut, refine, and assemble your final project,
  • Hear many tips & tricks to help you along your glass learning journey
  • Receive a sheet of curated resources to help you continue making stained glass more confidently on your own!



✨👉 Register with us and embrace the joy of stained glass! Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your chance to grow your creativity this season. If you'd like to have an individualized lesson or if you have a group larger than 4 people, please send us message to arrange a date for your own Private Class.
