VanWatki Workshop
Stained glass classes and custom art for people who want to slow down, make something beautiful, and feel connected through creativity.
Take a break. Take a class.
Step into the world of stained glass and learn how color, light, and your own two hands can become something meaningful. In this beginner copper foil class, you’ll be gently guided through each part of the process—choosing glass, cutting, shaping, foiling, soldering, and finishing a small stained glass window of your very own. No experience is needed; this class is for the curious, the creative, and anyone who has ever felt pulled toward making something beautiful. More than a project, this is an invitation to slow down, connect with an old-world craft, and discover the quiet joy of turning broken pieces into light.

Come make something juicy. In this playful stained glass class, students will create a 6-8” tall fruit or vegetable suncatcher using the copper foil method. We’ll cut, grind, foil, and solder our way through a bright, beginner-friendly project that feels equal parts garden stand, picnic blanket, and tiny glass magic.
Perfect for returning students craving a simply sweet reintroduction to glass.
