Introducing
Intermediate Stained Glass Classes in Boulder, CO
Already taken a beginner class, here or somewhere else, and ready to push further?
These classes build right on top of the basics: tougher cuts, cleaner technique, and some genuinely fun decorative skills. Our classes stay small, so you'll get real, specific feedback on your cutting, foiling, and soldering instead of a repeat of beginner instruction.
Know exactly what you want to work on? Our skill-building intensives let you zero in on one technique at a time: cutting, soldering, decorative additions, framing, or digital pattern design.
Want more of a general next step instead?
The 1-Day Intermediate class is the natural follow-up to any beginner course.
Intermediate Class Information
1-Day Intermediate Stained Glass Class
Already taken a beginner class? This 4-hour workshop is your natural next step. You'll build on what you already know and try tougher cuts and techniques with real guidance from your instructor. It's built for students who've completed a beginner class, here or elsewhere, and want more practice before flying solo. Small classes mean you get plenty of personal feedback on your cutting, foiling, and soldering.
Glass Cutting Intensive Workshop
Cutting is the make-or-break skill in stained glass, and it's usually the hardest part for beginners to nail. This intensive is all cutting, all the time: scoring, breaking glass cleanly, handling curves and tricky inside cuts, and building the muscle memory that makes every future project easier. Perfect if you want to sharpen your cutting or fix some self-taught bad habits. You'll leave with a lot more control, and confidence, at the cutting table.
Soldering Intensive Workshop
Clean, smooth solder lines are what separate homemade-looking work from professional-looking work. This one's all about soldering: iron temperature and control, using flux, tinning, getting smooth seams, and fixing the lumpy or uneven lines that trip everyone up at first. Bring your questions, this is the class where soldering finally clicks.
Decorative Additions Intensive Workshop
Ready to go beyond basic patterns? This intensive covers decorative techniques that add real personality and polish to your work, the details that make people ask "wait, how did you DO that?" Great for makers who already know the basics and want some new tricks up their sleeve.
Framing Intensive Workshop
Made something beautiful? Now let's frame it right. This intensive walks you through framing your stained glass so it hangs securely and actually looks finished: framing options, reinforcement, hanging hardware, all of it. A genuinely practical class if you've got finished pieces ready to go up on a wall or in a window.
Digital Pattern Design Using Procreate
Want to design patterns the way modern studios do? In this class, you'll use Procreate on an iPad to draw and refine your own patterns, then bring them to life with a Cricut. Digital design makes it so much easier to tweak, resize, and reuse patterns, and opens the door to custom work you might not attempt freehand. Great for makers ready to move past store-bought patterns.
