Choose Your Workshop
Find the workshop that fits your time, project size and creative style. Each class includes materials prepared for your selected project, step-by-step guidance, design inspiration, and a welcoming studio experience. No art experience is needed.
Beginner Glass Workshops
Choose from a rotating schedule of beginner-friendly mosaic and fused glass workshops. Each class features one project, such as mosaic coasters, a mosaic trivet, fused glass suncatchers, or a fused glass art square.
Keeping each class focused on one project allows me to prepare the right materials, give clear step-by-step guidance, and make the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable for everyone. You’ll choose colors, arrange your design, and create something personal, beautiful, and truly yours.
Fused glass projects are built with layers of glass that catch the light and are kiln-fired after class.Mosaic projects focus on arranging colorful pieces into a design with texture, pattern, movement, and sparkle.
These workshops are especially good for beginners because the focus is on exploring, arranging, and creating, not getting everything perfect.

Create Your Own Cathedral Class Artwork
Create a luminous glass-on-glass mosaic using colorful cathedral glass and specialty glass pieces designed to catch the light. In this 4-hour workshop, you’ll build your artwork on a clear glass base, giving your finished piece the feeling of stained glass with the freedom and texture of mosaic design.
This workshop gives you more time to plan your layout, choose a color palette, and create a more detailed piece. Your design can be inspired by flowers, water, trees, birds, lake colors, abstract patterns, or another simple image that works beautifully in glass.
I’ll guide you step by step as you arrange your glass, build your design, and bring the piece together. This is a good fit if you want a slower, more spacious class and a finished artwork that feels especially personal and display-worthy.
Price: $150 per person
Projects: Offered as separate featured workshops
Times: Fridays 1:00 to 5:00 pm
Best for: Guests who want a larger project, more design time, and a more immersive glass art experience

Distinctive Mosaic Weekend Workshop
Spend a creative weekend making a larger mosaic project with more studio time, more design freedom, and space to enjoy the process from start to finish. Each weekend workshop features one project, so materials are prepared, instructions are clear, and the experience stays relaxed and focused for everyone.
You’ll build your mosaic step by step over multiple sessions, choosing colors, arranging pieces, developing your design, and bringing the project together with guidance along the way. This longer format gives you time to settle in, make thoughtful creative choices, and enjoy the feeling of watching your artwork take shape.
This workshop is a good fit if you want a more immersive art experience, a creative weekend for yourself, or a memorable Lake Geneva outing with a friend. Class size is limited so each person has room to work and receive individual guidance.
