We offer a wide range of classes at different times during the week, for afternoons and evenings. In our studio we have nearly a thousand photos of students with their completed projects; We have posted some of them online in our Student Projects Gallery to show the range of projects students can undertake.

Mosaic Classes
Come join guest artist Debra Mager from Cinderella Mosaics and learn a magical, beautiful mosaic technique, developed by the late, legendary mosaicist, Laurel Skye. Debra was taught by Laurel several years ago, and now shares this magical technique with others, with Laurel’s blessings.
You will create mirrors that resemble tapestry, using materials such as stained glass, beads, jewelry, trinkets, and other treasures. Once you learn this method, you can use it to cover other things, too, like boxes or vases, etc.
The supplies and materials which are provided are:
- A 10×10 mirror
Mosaic tools
Mastic
Pigment
Stained glass
Filler beads
Items you may want to bring:
- Costume jewelry pieces
Small strung beads
Mirror pieces
Rhinestones
Shells
Stones
Buttons
Charms
Found objects
Various treasures
Since no grouting is involved (yay!), you can embed just about anything.
Some mosaic experience is a plus but not required.
We will meet from 10 am – 4 pm both days, and you will take home your original jeweled mosaic mirror at the end of the day Sunday.
The cost of this one-of-a-kind experience is $300.00, which includes supplies and materials.
- To Be Announced.
Glass Fusing & Slumping
Please inquire for more information on fusing and slumping classes.
The Bevel Made Me Do It (Design Class)
This class focuses primarily on designing. There are basics to keep in mind, cuts that cannot be made, stress points in the glass and the final look of the panel. Choosing from a bin of arbitrary bevels, the student has to draw the design, then choose background. It's fun to learn just what your limitations can be with glass and what you can do.
- Class is 6 weeks. Limit is 6 students per class.
- Cost is $125, plus $20 supplies fee.
- Other glass costs based on glass selected.
- $50 deposit is required at time of sign up.
