Course Description

Discover the timeless art of stained glass in this hands-on six-week course. Playing with color, light, and design, students will learn the fundamental techniques of stained glass while creating a beautiful window ornament to take home.
From design and layout to glass cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, and finishing, participants will be guided through every step of the stained glass process. Students will have the opportunity to select from an array of patterns designed specifically for this introductory-level class, allowing them to create a piece that reflects their personal style while building essential skills.

Open to all experience levels, this course is perfect for beginners eager to learn the craft of stained glass. Returning students are also welcome and will have the opportunity to continue building their skills, explore more complex designs, and learn additional techniques to further their artistic practice.

Whether you’re new to stained glass or looking to expand your experience, this class offers a supportive and creative environment to explore the beauty of glass, color, and light while developing a strong foundation in this rewarding art form.

Dionis Carter

Dionis Carter is an illustrator, textile designer, and photographer. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2016 with a BFA in Fibers and uses traditional and non-traditional drawing, fiber, and sculptural processes. Her designs, though informed by history and tradition, are inspired by nature and issues in contemporary society such as environmentalism, empathy, apathy, and human identity. Raised in both the woodlands of Sherborn and on the shores of Nantucket Island, she grew up infatuated with the natural world. She has a fascination for the patterns she sees in nature and society, and she hopes to incorporate travel into her work as a way to experience nature, history, and art around the world. She is an AAN artist member in both *2-D Art* and *Photography*. She currently teaches stained glass and drawing workshops at the AAN.
