Create Your Own Magic.
Workshops.
Our journey for leading stained glass workshops started in April of 2022 when William partnered with Crafters on Central in Florence, WI to share his passion for creating stained glass.
At the end of 2022, William partnered with Laura at LMB Art & Design to help facilitate glass preparation for our intro to stained glass assembly classes. Laura has been an asset and integral part to making this vision possible.
In 2023 we took the Intro to Stained Glass Assembly workshops on the road to surrounding communities to spread the passion for creating with others.
In June, we teamed up with Jenny from River House Glass in Eau Claire, WI to help facilitate the preparation of glass for our classes and glass kits.
We have created together at 12 different studios throughout Michigan and Wisconsin, and we are eternally grateful to the owners and administrators of these studios for making dreams come true for ourselves and our students.

Intro to Stained Glass Assembly is our 5-7 hour course that introduces students to the methods of copper foiling, soldering, framing, cleaning and polishing with a glass kit, designed and prepared by our growing creative team. Every project that we create in this course is entirely unique, adding value as a limited edition experience.
Glass & Design is our 4 hour course that introduces students to the multitude of colors and textures that exist in the realm of stained glass, and takes them through step-by-step instruction on how to design their own stained glass using the state of the art Glass Eye 2000 Software.
Complete Basics to Stained Glass is our 8-10 hour course that introduces students to glass cutting and grinding, and takes them through the full assembly process.
In 2024 Laura is continuing the teaching effort in the Midwest, and William is branching out to share the stained glass love in the Pacific Northwest.
Let’s keep making the world a more beautiful place - Together.
