Glass: Stained Glass  3D Hearts

Let's start 2026 glass classes at The Shop with a whole lot of love!  This beginners class will allow us to build the first stained glass heart together and learn the steps as we go.  After that you will be encouraged to build and decorate your own 3D heart!

This class will introduce the participants to glass cutting, dopper foiling, tinning and construction of their own three dimensional heart.

After signing up for the class, please contact us and let us know what colors you would prefer to use. 

Note:  Please cover up – no shorts, open toed shoes or sandals!

About your Instructor:  Karen Reed is an accomplished glass artist who’s been working professionally in the medium since 1981.  At her studio, Earthstar Glass, she creates fused glass, painted glass, and stained glass pieces with many of her works combining all three methods (although she’ll tell you there are many more than just three!).  Her creations have been exhibited and offered through galleries across the US.  It’s been requested by the White House and now sits in the archival collection.  Her glass has been accepted at shows curated by past directors of the Smithsonian Institution and Pilchuk Glass.  She’s been featured and published in many books and magazines and her fused glass series “Sunscapes” was shown on CBS TV’s “Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood”.  She has taught at the John C. Campbell Folk School, Arrowmont School of the Arts and Crafts, The Appalachian Center for Crafts, Bullseye Glass, Uroboros Glass, Hollander Glass, and Weiser Glass.  She has also taught specialty classes for Art Museums, Botanical Gardens, Clubs, Guilds and Design Centers.  She’s also taught classes at Burritt on the Mountain Folk School and creates custom designs for homes, businesses, and galleries.  We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to tap into her many talents!
