It's totally up to you! Grinders will be provided for class use. You can rent tools from instructor Lisa Schwartz for $30 or bring your own.

Please contact the instructor when you sign up with your intentions for the course using the information on the website so you can be prepared to be working on the first session. Prerequisite: Beginner's Stained Glass Copperfoil Panel OR at least one previous stained glass course

Lisa Schwartz

Instructor

Lisa a B.A. in Psychology from the U of M and an M.B.A. from the University of St. Thomas. She works full-time as an personal assistant, but has been doing stained glass on the side for over 40 years. In high school, she took every art class she could from Art History and Architecture. Then she took a Community Ed class in stained glass (a course not offered in the school curriculum). It was the perfect combination of art and craft. She drew her first window design on a napkin and it turned out so cool; she was hooked.

Over the years,she has made hundreds of windows from suncatchers to large installations. In 2006, she completed two window walls in a church in Cameroun, Africa that were 36' long by 8' high. In 2018, she went back to Africa to install seventeen panels she made in Minnesota the previous year. She has been teaching community ed classes for the past six years now and loves getting other people enthusiastic about the art.

Lisa lives in Columbus,MN . She is married and has two grown sons and two grandsons.
