Class Experience
Make stained glass projects under the guidance of stained glass artist Kim Fry!
Students will learn techniques and tricks to using the tools and supplies required for creating beautiful stained glass pieces. Once students have the basics down, they can continue to work on more advanced projects, designs and concepts.
Most projects can be completed in 6-8 weeks. All supplies except boards are provided, however, if students desire specific glass pieces, they may need to be aquired outside of class cost.
Enrollment is always open, jump in at any time!
**Please note that while we may have a drop in option for this class, students will most likely need more than 1 session to complete a project.

Elizabeth is wonderful. She knows her stuff and introduced drawing concepts in understandable, beginner-friendly ways. Having pencils and erasers provided was also valuable to try things out I wouldn’t have wanted to buy myself before knowing what they did and why I’d need them.
Improvements:
Class could be 1.5 hours.

Completely tailored to my child’s interest and goals! Gena doesn’t just go through the motions of teaching drawing technique. She brings in ideas specific to my child’s goals. And she is great about motivating and inspiring the creative process with different techniques, including addressing how to cultivate a mindset of creativity, daily habits and practices, and a focus on building skills and techniques. She’s great with my teenager! Very calm but fun! Highly recommend.
Improvements:
Move the center closer to Austin so it’s not as far from us! 😉
