"Don't just recycle your glass bottles—transform them. ✨"

We are so excited for our upcoming Mixed-Ability Kiln-Formed Glass course and we wanted to introduce you to the brilliant artist leading the class: Julia Gonyou!

Julia is a professional stained glass artist and conservator whose stunning work ranges from residential commissions to autonomous fine art panels. Her approach to teaching is warm, experimental, and deeply inspiring.

Join us for an environmentally conscious new workshop focused on exploring the possibilities of sustainable kiln-formed glass, using recycled glass bottles.

This course is completely open to mixed abilities—meaning absolute beginners will learn the core foundations safely, while more experienced makers can dive into advanced techniques under the guidance of a master glass artist.
