Description

'Tis the season for stained glass! In this workshop, you'll cut and grind glass into festive shapes like a snowflake, tree, ornament, or star. Once your shapes are ready, you'll solder everything together into a suncatcher worth showing off. Stained glass is a highly rewarding skill to learn, and simply too enjoyable to do just once! Come solo or bring a friend, sibling, or partner, either way makes for a great time. No experience required, just curiosity.

Instructor Bio:

Lisa is a California native who relocated to Virginia in 2021, drawn to the region's natural beauty and a quieter way of living. A former wedding photographer for nearly a decade, she spent years documenting meaningful moments and celebrating human connection, a passion that now infuses her teaching. After discovering stained glass, she was drawn to its meditative quality and the way small scale work allows room for creative flexibility. She began teaching in 2024 and has developed a philosophy centered on process over perfection. Her classes blend practical instruction with playfulness, encouraging students to tap into creativity while building genuine confidence. Beyond stained glass, Lisa explores embroidery, quilting, digital drawing, mosaics, and anything else that piques her interest. She's equally passionate about gardening and herbalism, practices that, like teaching, ground her in intention and care. When she works in her home studio, she's often joined by one of her four cats, who serve as her most dedicated creative supervisors. Her workshops become a welcoming space where students can show up authentically, experiment freely, and leave feeling more capable than when they arrived.
