Our Infamous Beginner Course
(for those who know virtually nothing)
This death defying, exhilarating 18 hour course teaches you both techniques of making stained glass. Yes, that’s right folks, we cover it all- copperfoil and lead- even Tiffany Lamps. This is the same course we taught for Humber College for fifteen years. During the six weeks (at 3 hours/night)(or four weeks at 4 1/2 hours/day time classes) you will make a copperfoil window hanging, a small lead panel and even maybe a Tiffany style lampshade. Inside studio techniques will be shared and instruction will be supplemented by an incredible number of handouts and watching the ongoing work of our own studio.
Classes are held in our 2000 sq. ft classroom with free use of equipment such as grinders and soldering irons. Students are also welcome to use this space at their leisure outside of classroom hours. There is even a reference library.
As with anywhere else, personal hand tools will need to be purchased. This averages from $50- $100. Being ever so helpful, we put together several attractive toolkits generously discounted, from $40.00 and up . While purchasing a kit is optional, we do require that whatever tools students purchase, a carbide wheel glass cutter and grozing pliers are mandatory to take the class.
Cost for 18 hours is $189.00 (+HST) and this includes all the materials you'll need for your first two projects- and we mean everything! (glass, foil, solder, lead, extensive handouts, heck even band aids, etc.).

Our Infamous Intermediate Course
(for those who think they know enough)
This is the course for those who want more than the basics, but yet don't want to tackle something as complex as perhaps a lamp or compound fractions. Consider the Intermediate course as a good way to get out and enjoy this craft stress free with many new friends and away from annoying family members. Instruction in advanced techniques such as the use of cutting jigs, acid etching and mosaics will be taught. If you have a particular project in mind but don't have the confidence to start it alone, then this course is for you. Now being taught by Louie- Seven nights (21 hours) for $89.00 or six days (24 hours) for $95.00 (other lengths prorated).
