Stained Glass Workshop

Join our avid stained glass makers with Glaas Inc's Making Glass Accessible program!



4 hours

Class size 1 to 3 (public classes), 3 to 6
  $160 (Afterpay available)

The 'Making Glass Accessible' program provides weekly stained glass workshop opportunities for glass enthusiasts to explore their creativity with the transformative material of glass. Improve your mental health wellbeing, learn new skills and techniques in leadlight and copper foil, and be part of a safe, supportive, positive, and caring community with a shared interest in all things stained glass.
Learn skills including traditional leadlight window techniques or the delicate art of copper foil (also known as the Tiffany technique). With our ongoing workshop series the possibilities are endless - make your very own leadlight window, suncatcher, or 3D art like spinners, terrariums or candle holders.
This workshop program is led by community facilitator and glass artist, Fiona Caskie (AKA My Imaginary Heart), and is limited to a small group for individualised attention and focused learning. Patterns are provided, and our light-filled studio is fully equipped and comfortable.
Designed for complete beginners (advanced learners and refreshers welcome), you will learn how to:
  • Cut glass using three different tools
  • Grind and shape glass to a pattern
  • Apply copper foil to glass or build a leadlight panel
  • Construct your project using soldering tools
  • Apply finishing techniques to make your project shine
Please note:
  • Your first workshop covers how to cut glass, and you will generally need to book at least two sessions to complete your first project.
  • Glaas Inc advises that stained glass work is not recommended for those pregnant or breastfeeding, and we encourage potential students to seek further advice from their GP before participating.

  • 5/5 from Jhermaine Capistrano, attended Aug 2026: The class with Fiona is fantastic. You learn so many new skills and it's very hands on. The time just flies by, in a way it is very meditative and we are all enjoying the pieces we made.
  • 5/5 from Mia Mats, attended Jul 2026: Fantastic class, l had so much fun creating coloured glass into a piece of art that l will treasure. Thank you for the experience, the class is very rewarding.
  • 5/5 from Fae Noor, attended Jun 2026: I’ve always been fascinated by stained glass art. The glass cutting, the soldering, the way light passes through coloured glass—there’s something incredibly soothing about it. So while I was in Melbourne, I signed up for a 4-hour stained glass workshop through ClassBento. And my god, it was amazing. What looks effortless from afar is actually quite challenging. We learned how to cut glass, grind the edges smooth, wrap each piece in copper foil, burnish it, apply flux, solder everything together, then clean and finish the piece. Every step required patience and precision. My teacher, Fiona, was wonderful. Passionate, knowledgeable, chatty, and genuinely excited about sharing her craft. The kind of teacher who makes you feel comfortable trying, making mistakes, and learning along the way. Somewhere during the soldering process, I accidentally created a decorative solder line and decided it was a feature, not a mistake The diamond design was actually the standard template given to all beginners, so I can’t take credit for choosing it. Halfway through, though, I realised it looked suspiciously like a berry danish. Which means there’s a very real possibility this ends up hanging at OFFSET Café as stained glass pastry art. I left with a piece I made with my own hands and a much deeper appreciation for the skill, patience, and artistry behind every stained glass work. Seeing my finished piece catch the light for the first time was incredibly rewarding—a small reminder of how satisfying it is to create something beautiful from scratch.
  • 5/5 from Barry Orhan, attended Apr 2026: Fiona did a fantastic job intructing this class! The hands on guidance was much appreciated and it was easy to quickly start making stained glass pieces. Despite it being just my first class, I was able to complete a little piece of stained glass art to take home. Thank you Fiona, I look forward to joining future workshops!
  • 5/5 from Angela Chung, attended Mar 2026: Fiona is a great teacher! She's knowledgeable, patient, inspiring and full of passion for glass art!
  • 5/5 from Camille Cheuk Kwan Ling, attended Feb 2026: Fiona was a great instructor who's very patient and encouraging throughout the class! The workshop covers a lot of the fundamental glass techniques and provides lots of materials for you to build your skills.
