Stained Glass Design
5-day (6-night) residential retreat-workshop in Vermont USA
Upcoming course dates are listed on our 2026 schedule
Design a stained glass panel in your own style with personalized tuition and coaching in this workshop in Vermont USA. In-person workshops are immersive creative retreats in a quiet forested location where students learn to find their own unique voice in stained glass.
I teach the traditional British method for making painted, kiln-fired stained glass windows. This workshop includes slide presentations, group exercises and individual assignments that focus on different steps in the stained glass design process. Students bring images to trace from or sketch new ideas; learn how to translate their images into tracelines suitable for glasspainting; assemble tracelines into a composition; make color sketches, cartoons; and make a professional cutline (cutting pattern). At the end of the workshop each student returns to their own workshop to cut, paint and assemble their design. One-on-one coaching via Zoom is available after the workshop.
Stained Glass Design in-person is open to anyone who has completed a workshop or online glasspainting course with me. Questions? Email me your phone number to schedule a call.
This in-person workshop costs $1,280 all-inclusive for five days tuition, six nights self-catered accommodation and materials. Maximum four students per workshop. See photos of a design workshop in progress. Watch one minute video of student residence.
Please note that this Stained Glass Design workshop does NOT include cutting, painting or assemby. Students leave with an original design and all the drawings necessary to build a painted stained glass panel in their own studio.
