Cranberry Courses and Workshops

The staff at Cranberry Stained Glass Studio are addicted to their craft and love sharing their skills and enthusiasm with others. Surely one of the following courses will get you hooked too. We have a bright, spacious workshop equipped specifically with the glass artist in mind (especially the vertically challenged like Penny ?). All you have to bring are close-toed shoes and your enthusiasm.

A maximum class size of six people allows us to offer personalized, individual attention and allows you full access to our tools and equipment. Unless noted, you do not have to pay for anything beyond the cost of the course or workshop. (Classes will run only with a minimum of three participants.)
