DIY Stained Glass Painting at Home

This is a ClassBento virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Vogue, and more. Here's how it works:

1. Book or Request your preferred time
2. We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 1-10 days. We ship nationwide.
3. Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

This class is a great opportunity to occupy yourself at home, learn something new and create a stunning piece of artwork at the same time! You will learn the technique of stained glass painting and make your very own exciting and unique hand-painted suncatcher that you'll be proud to hang in your house.

During the live online class, your teacher will demonstrate the technique of stained glass painting, the technique of applying an outliner on the glass, as well as mixing different mediums. Then they will guide you as you make your own beautiful artwork.

To begin you will learn about glass and ceramics painting in general, as well as materials and techniques which can be used to achieve various results. Then using one of the provided stencils, you will transfer this pattern on square glass using outliner and special glass paints. If you want to use your own stencil please confirm the design with the teacher to ensure it is suitable.

This online class runs for three hours, providing enough time to show you different techniques and get to a point where you will feel comfortable on your own playing around with colours. You will also have ample to ask questions in real-time throughout the class.

The best thing about doing this class online is that:

• You can finish your artwork in your own pace, with no hurry and stress if it takes you a bit longer (and trust me it can take longer when it comes to choosing colours)
• You still will have some materials left which you can use to create another masterpiece!

After the class, you will get one week of chat support on Telegram or Whatsapp. That means that you can send your teacher questions and photos of your artwork if you need any help or advice.

Please note that the listed time for this workshop is flexible. You can request any other day that suits you and I will do my best to make it available. This class is not suitable for pregnant women.

No experience is necessary! Just takes a bit of patience :)
