Is stained glass hard to make?

Our classes are designed for all levels! You'll find that the process is fun and rewarding, and that even beginners can make a gorgeous piece. Whether you've never touched glass before or have years of experience, we’ll guide you through every step in our supportive, creative environment.

What will I make during the class?

We will work with you to come up with a design (or a few options) that your group will love! Most 3 hour classes reasonably allow you to create a unique sun catcher that includes about 5-6 pieces. The type of project you hope to do will determine the price and class duration, so we'll make sure you have the most fun and take home something beautiful within your budget.

Your group will learn to cut and shape glass pieces using specialized tools, then apply copper foil to the edges of each piece in preparation for soldering. Once foiled, the pieces will be assembled and carefully soldered together to create a unified design. Finally, your project will be cleaned, finished, and polished, ready to take home or display.

How can I make my party even better?

We offer a variety of add-ons in our studio space! We can accommodate helping with decorations, adding snacks and drinks to your class package, or calling in our talented friends for a tarot reading or drag performance. Whatever your vision for a killer party, we will do our best to make it happen!

How many people can you accommodate?

To make the most of this small group instruction experience, we recommend a maximum group of 10.

September 2025 • Girls-Trip Party

We booked Winton Glass as part of our girls’ trip to Philly and it was the best decision! the studio offers a ton of options and we chose our own design that we all loved. The instructors were funny, patient, and kept things light and relaxing while also making sure our projects turned out looking good. We laughed a ton, sipped wine, felt creative, and now we all have a stained glass piece to remember the trip by. It was a really cool way to remember an already really special weekend. Highly recommend!

September 2025 • Bachelorette Party

Winton Glass was honestly the highlight of the weekend! Erica and Allison were amazing hosts and the studio was really cute and laid back. None of us had ever done stained glass before, but they made it super easy and fun, and we all left with pieces that actually looked good! They explained each step clearly, gave us plenty of hands-on guidance, and made sure everyone in the group felt successful. You can really tell how much love and care goes into their art. They let us bring in snacks and drinks, played the music we requested, kept us entertained and laughing, and made sure the bride felt extra special. It was the perfect mix of hands-on activity and just hanging out together. I’ve already recommended them to friends, and I’m excited to come back for another class soon!

September 2025 • Bachelorette Party

Honestly, this was the most unexpected and fun night of my bachelorette weekend. The private studio felt very boutique/intimate/personal; we were welcomed and felt comfortable right away. The studio owners are super inclusive and thoughtful. We started out making a stained glass project, which was SO cool- very hands-on and different. AND THEN we rolled into a surprise drag karaoke performance!! They literally switched the whole studio into a party, they even wheeled the work table to the corner of the room to make room for a dance floor. The opportunity to be creative, make something I can remember the weekend by, hang with my closest friends, AND have a throwback sing along with a fabulous queen was so perfect and unreal. Everyone in our group said it was their favorite part of the trip. We left with keepsakes, sore cheeks from laughing, and about a thousand photos. Highly recommend if you want something memorable and different!
