Beginner Stained Glass Creations

In some cultures, there is a belief that seeing a Luna moth is considered a message to you from the universe.

A message to remind you that you need to let go of your past and embrace your present.

It is also considered as a message to get rid of your past identities and embrace the unknown.

A Luna Moth Is said To Bring Luck.

So instead of waiting for one to land on your patio, why don't you make your own Luna moth 11 x 7 inches and this one will be eternal! 

 Enjoy the art of Stained Glass; cutting, grinding, copper foiling, and soldering are all part of the process. You will without a doubt realize a very special piece of stained glass with YOU as the artist.

This is a long class so be prepared to have something to drink and a snack with you (if you wish). For safety reasons, please make sure that you have closed shoes and your long hair tied-back.

 Glass Fusion "Rainbow Bird Bath2"

Instructor: Pia Douglas

04-29-2026

5 to 8pm

$108 members | $120 non- members

Ages: 16 to Adults

This rare and beautiful 12 inch wide Rainbow bird Bath is made in a really particular manner. Yes, we use glass but no, we do not cut it in the conventional way. 

For once we break the glass where ever it wants to be broken and we play with shape and colors, directly on the kiln shelf! no, we do not use copper foil or lead because we will fuse our piece. In fact we will fuse it twice to obtain this gorgeous creation. Not mentioning that we will add a touch of iridescence at the bottom of our clear glass to give our little friends an extra attraction in the world of birds!

And .....if you do not want to use as a bird bath... simply put it delicately on your table, just be careful, the cat might want to use as his favorite sleeping quarters.

Only 4 people per class

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy.
