Find the Best Art Form For You
Stained Glass
Stained glass is the traditional art of cutting individual pieces of colored glass and joining them together with lead or copper foil to create decorative panels, suncatchers, lamps, and three-dimensional artwork. Each piece is carefully shaped, wrapped, soldered, and finished by hand, making every project a unique work of art. If you enjoy precision, craftsmanship, and working with vibrant colored glass, stained glass is a rewarding and timeless art form.
Our Boston stained glass classes are designed for beginners through advanced artists, providing hands-on instruction in a fun and supportive studio environment.
Glass Fusing
Glass fusing is the art of layering compatible glass and melting them together in a kiln to create one-of-a-kind works of art. By combining sheet glass, frit, stringers, murrini, and other decorative materials, artists can create everything from bowls and plates to wall art, jewelry, and sculptural pieces. Different kiln-firing techniques allow for endless creative possibilities and unique textures. If you enjoy experimenting with color and exploring where science and art come together, glass fusing offers limitless opportunities for creativity.
Our Boston glass fusing classes are perfect for beginners and experienced artists looking to learn the exciting world of kiln-formed glass through hands-on instruction.
Dichroic Glass
Dichroic glass is a specialty art glass coated with microscopic layers of metal oxides, creating brilliant, shifting colors that appear to change depending on the angle and light. Originally developed for the aerospace industry, dichroic glass has become a favorite among glass artists for its vibrant, iridescent effects. It is most commonly used in glass fusing to create stunning jewelry, pendants, earrings, cabochons, and decorative artwork, adding exceptional depth, sparkle, and color to every piece.
Our Boston dichroic glass classes teach you how to safely cut, layer, and fire dichroic glass in the kiln, giving you the skills to create dazzling, one-of-a-kind wearable art and kiln-formed glass designs.
