    Great intro class! I'm a Graphic Designer and try to take a lot of different 'hands-on' classes to learn new hobbies and get away from the computer screen. Kelsie was a great instructor, taught us a ton in the amount of time we had, and answered all the questions I threw at her (which was probably a lot). I had such a great experience that I ended up buying my own equipment to continue practicing at home. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in learning the process of Stained Glass and glass as a medium.

    I took this class with my cousin and it was really fun, the studio had a chill vibe. The class was small enough that you can freely talk to the instructor. We actually made a whole piece of art which was cool and all the equipment and all the necessary tools were provided. We had a super chill instructor who was helpful and also not super strict about little things so we had a certain amount of artistic and technical leeway. I'm actually planning on going back for some other classes at the studio because I really liked the vibe and the people.

    The stained glass workshop for beginners was EXCELLENT!. The hands on learning experience revealed the artistry, creativity, and incredible skill associated with this art form. Kelsie was a superb teacher knowing when to pull the group together for a demonstration lesson, when to leave the group time for independent work, and when to offer her guidance in a time of need/advice. Her pleasant, encouraging, and kind demeanor is an essential characteristic for others to feel welcomed and vulnerable in a new learning experience. Her interactions were truly genuine.

Virtual Stained Glass Classes & Schools

Online stained glass classes and in-person classes have distinct advantages and disadvantages. 

Online instruction offers the convenience of learning from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere with an internet connection. Often, they have a more flexible schedule. However, the lack of hands-on experience and physical interaction with instructors and classmates may make it more challenging to receive feedback and ask questions in real-time. 

In contrast, in-person classes provide a more immersive and social learning experience, with direct access to instructors and hands-on instruction. But in-person classes may require commuting and have a fixed schedule, making it less flexible for those with busy lives. Ultimately, the choice between online and in-person stained glass classes will depend on your personal preferences, learning style, and availability.
