Overview
AGITSI Glass Studio offers studio classes that emphasize skill development and responsible studio practice. Classes are suited for those starting with no experience as well as students wishing to refine specific techniques. Instruction covers glass selection, pattern transfer, cutting, grinding, foil or lead came methods, soldering and safe finishing.
What you will learn
Each session focuses on discrete skills so students gain confidence at a steady pace. Early lessons concentrate on tool safety, straight and curved cutting, and how different types of glass behave when cut and ground. Subsequent sessions introduce metalwork, soldering technique, proper flux use, and approaches to cleaning and sealing completed panels. Students receive supervised studio time with access to equipment and materials while projects progress.
Class formats
We offer drop-in workshops, multi-week series, and private lessons. Workshops cover a single project or technique and are typically 3–6 hours. Multi-week courses span 4–8 weeks and allow participants to complete a more ambitious panel. Private instruction is scheduled to suit individual pace and project scope.
Skill levels
Classes are grouped by experience level. Beginners work on small panels to learn the fundamentals. Intermediate students refine cutting speed and accuracy while practicing more advanced soldering and finishing. Advanced students focus on design, larger panels, restoration methods, and integrating mixed media.
Materials and tools
The studio maintains a supply of glass sheets, copper foil, lead came, solder, and basic tools. Students are welcome to bring their own glass or designs when appropriate. For multi-week courses, a materials list is provided so learners can continue working outside class time. Safety gear — including goggles and gloves — is available for use during sessions.
Studio policies
Attendance, safety and respectful use of shared equipment are expected. The studio enforces clear cleaning and storage protocols to keep the workspace usable for all students. We provide a brief safety orientation before hands-on work begins.
Registration and scheduling
