Reserve Your Foundation Master Class Here!
Two Days. Two Students.
This exclusive 2-day workshop is limited to only 2 students per class.
The Foundation Master Class has been created especially for those with absolutely no experience, but with a desire to learn.
Our instructors will teach you everything you need to know to complete your first leaded panel. And we don’t mean a suncatcher! This is an honest-to-goodness, leaded stained glass panel.
On Day 1, we will teach you to cut the glass, first with clear practice glass, then with a glass selection of your choice.
On Day 2, we build, we solder, we putty, and we frame!
The best part is that no purchase of tools, supplies, or materials is required.
Just show up with your ambition and a pair of comfortable, closed-toe shoes and we’ll show you how to do the rest.*
After 40+ years of learning and 2 years of teaching the Advanced Master Class, we’ve seen how important a good foundation can be. Even students of our advanced class have found incredible value in our newest offering of this Foundation Master Class.
*Printed pattern will also need to be brought in on your first day of class. Free downloadable patterns are made available after purchase

Having worked with these wonderful people in such an encouraging environment has definitely sparked my interest in this craft. I'm looking forward to the classes I will be taking with Michael in the future!

All instructors at Wabi-Sabi Workshops have an extensive background in restoration and new construction. Through decades of experience, our instructors have seen what happens to an inferior build. That’s why, at Wabi-Sabi Workshops, we say “Close enough is not a standard.”
Whether building stained glass is something you’ve always aspired to do, or this is a newfound interest, now is the time and Wabi-Sabi Workshops is the place to begin. Ensure you start off on the right foot and avoid forming bad habits. Building stained glass with integrity can be the difference in your panel lasting 15 years or 75 years.
With focus and attention to detail, Wabi-Sabi Workshops instructors provide step-by-step guidance and training so that everyone can be successful in creating a build that will last for generations.
