From pencil to panel ✏️✨

Ready to turn your sketches into stained glass? Join instructor Kelsie McNair for From Pencil to Panel: Stained Glass Sketches, a two-day introductory workshop designed for beginners interested in learning the fundamentals of stained glass.

You’ll start with paper and pencil, developing your own design before bringing it to life in glass. Along the way, you’ll learn glass cutting, grinding, copper foiling, soldering, and finishing, while exploring basic stained glass design principles and examples from historical and contemporary work.

By the end of the weekend, you’ll have a finished stained glass object or small panel to take home and display!

📅 Saturday, October 24 & Sunday, October 25
⏰ 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
🎨 Instructor: Kelsie McNair

No stained glass experience necessary. Come ready to sketch, create, and make something of your own.
