THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RAE GLASS CLASSES…
Stained glass is becoming a lost art. Your instructor has been teaching and creating stained glass since the mid-1970’s. Traditional stained glass is fabricated with lead came and the process is sometimes tedious and challenging. Hobbyists enjoy a less complicated method called copper foil, and while technically it’s still stained glass, it is not traditional leaded glass. We teach both methods, and also teach classes on repairs and restoration. You can watch YouTube or take a local community class, but our class is the difference between learning a hobby from someone who took a class to learn a hobby, and learning from an old-school professional in a live class where the instruction can not only answer all your questions, but will share quick tips and short-cuts. We also keep in touch once you are finished with our classes, and are available at any time for questions.

We currently have a collection of 12 books available for purchase to correspond to your interests in learning stained glass methods and your class selection.
