Our weekend workshops have been a great success because they are a great way
to get your feet wet learning either the basics or a new technique.
All of these workshops are designed to give you the opportunity
to increase your stained glass knowledge.
We have scheduled lots of weekend workshops so mark your calendar and
make it to Isleton for a day packed with fun and learning someting new.
These workshops will be small, limited to only four to six students, so you won't spend a lot of time waiting in the wings. A deposit of half the class fee is required before the beginning of the first class. This fee is refundable when the cancellation is made in a timely manner.
