In just a few short hours you will learn how to cut, grind, foil and solder your very own stained glass Suncatcher.

  • Glass Painting

    We are proud to bring the art of glass painting to Montana! Glass painting is a centuries old craft utilizing deep pigments and kiln firing. This modernized nontoxic version was taught to us by Deborah Coombs. We are happy to share her method with you.

  • Mosaics

    We make a lot of scrap glass in the studio, and we love to recycle it by creating mosaics. We put a modern spin on this ancient art form, by playing with colors and textures on different surfaces.
