Stained Glass Lotus Class
Stained Glass Lotus Class
Sunday, April 27th (Noon-7pm), 2025
Welcome guinea pigs, to the stained glass pilot! I cannot thank you enough for taking time out of your weekend and full deep diving into a new venture with me. All materials will be provided unless you want the opportunity to bring your own. I ask that as we explore the day together to think critically about the experience and the quality of instruction. For those that might not know, I am taking this pilot to the Cederburg Cultural Center and teaching stained glass in an official capacity. As I have never done this ;) that’s where you all come in to save the day. I look forward to working out any issues in class flow, structure, project, etc. etc.
