Intermediate Class
Take Your Skills to the Next Level
Ready to build on your stained glass foundation? Our Intermediate Stained Glass Class is designed for students who have completed our Beginner Stained Glass Course (or have equivalent experience) and are eager to continue developing their skills with more complex designs, refined techniques, and greater independence at the workbench.
Course Overview
This class will challenge and inspire you as you advance your understanding of the copper foil method. Over two sessions (3 hours each, 6 hours total), you’ll complete a more detailed and intricate window hanging that builds on the techniques introduced in the beginner class. Expect sharper curves, tighter angles, and more pieces in your pattern — all with guidance and support from your instructor.
