  •   Amazing intro to stained glass!
By on
Pros : I loved all of the instruction around the names of the tools, and especially the "why" on each step. The instructor (Roy) was fun and helpful, and picking out glass was a fun opportunity. The handout at the end of class is invaluable, too.
Cons : I live in Chicago so I'll have to plan ahead for future classes (!)
Other Thoughts : I took this class hoping to incorporate glass elements into my weaving pieces (wall hangings and window macrame pieces) and the course gave me lots of ideas but also helped me understand what I didn't know enough about yet. I will be back to learn more!

  •   Awesome way to spend a Saturday
By on
Pros : Our instructor Steena shared her decades of wisdom with the class, and kept us moving along through the many steps. Each participant walked away with a gorgeous piece, and the knowledge to begin our own personal stained glass practice.
Cons : There is a lot of material to cover in the class, so it’s helpful if students have some cursory knowledge ahead of time. I recommend watching a few YouTube videos beforehand to begin to familiarize yourself with the process and to help minimize your risk of time consuming mistakes.
Other Thoughts : The glass selection at Delphi is mindblowing. It was a delight to have access to such incredible materials. I highly recommend a day at Delphi!

  •   Amazing!!
By on
Pros : The instructor was very knowledgeable, helpful, and taught us a lot about stained glass and some of its history. He was willing to let us try to do things on our own and if needed he would step in and give advice. A great way to teach in my opinion as a teacher myself. Definitely worth taking this class. Delphi is an amazing place with amazing staff.
Cons : None
