Stained Glass Class

From May 10th to June 14th, Ian and I took a class at a local glass studio - Beginning Stained Glass! It was a fun experience and we have LOTS of photos from it :) It was great to spend quality time together and learn something new. Here are some photos from the 5 week class :)

We enjoyed taking this class together and we learned a lot. However, turns out it's not really our "thing". It was really expensive and time consuming. But it did perk our interest in learning other forms of glass work such as glass fusing! We've already taken one class in that and have another coming up soon, so I will be sure to share all about that as soon as I can :)

  1. I'm glad you guys got to learn it! I learned from my grandma when I was little. It does take a time to do and a bit of finesse with the tinier pieces. I can't wait to see your fusion pictures. :)
