Turn your beloved pet into a one-of-a-kind stained glass work of art in this unique, fully customized workshop! Each portrait is individually designed by our studio before class. We hand-select the glass colors, create the custom pattern, cut every piece of glass, and complete all grinding in-house so your project is ready for you to foil, assemble, and solder during class. No experience is needed—our instructor will guide you step by step through the stained glass process, making this a fun and approachable workshop for beginners and experienced makers alike.
The Stained Glass Custom Pet Experience is a three-hour guided workshop where participants assemble and solder a personalized glass portrait of their own pet. The studio pre-cuts and grinds the glass pieces based on a photo you submit in advance, so you can focus on the assembly process without needing prior glassworking skills. This class takes place at Wine & Design in Wake Forest and costs $135 per person, which covers all customized materials and instruction. Because the tools involve hot soldering irons and sharp glass, this event is best reserved for adults and older teens rather than young children. Free parking is available in the surrounding plaza lot, and you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks to enjoy while you work. It makes a highly satisfying creative project for a solo night out or a date with your partner. You get to skip the tedious prep work and go straight to the rewarding part of the craft, leaving with a finished piece of art to hang in your window at home.
Do I need prior experience with stained glass to attend?
No experience is necessary. The studio prepares the pattern and cuts all the glass pieces before you arrive, so you only handle the foiling, assembly, and soldering with step-by-step guidance.
Is this workshop appropriate for children?
Due to the use of hot soldering irons and glass pieces, this workshop is designed for adults and is not suitable for young kids.
What is included in the ticket price?
The $135 fee includes a custom pattern designed from your pet's photo, pre-cut glass pieces, all assembly materials, and three hours of hands-on instruction.
