Here’s what this 8-week course is all about:
Stained glass is beautiful:

But learning how to paint stained glass is often difficult:
- Books are full of words and words don’t show you what to do.
- Good teachers are difficult to find.
- Then there’s the paint – it’s unlike anything else you’ll ever work with – and the whole problem of getting used to new brushes and strange tools – the bridge for instance, the piece of wood you rest your hand on like you see here:

So yes, stained glass painting can be challenging to learn.
Especially when you work alone.
But we promise you right now:
It’s rewarding.
It’s worth the time and work.
And now, if you want to learn to paint stained glass, there is an answer.
