Year-Long Classes
This pedagogical course enables you to learn and refine the different methods and techniques of stained glass (Tiffany, fusing, leaded glass, glass painting). You’ll have all the materials you need in the studio to realize your ideas, whether for a single project or several small ones over the course of a year.
We start each course with a demonstration and exercises to improve your skills. This is optional, but recommended.
The course is topped off with an end-of-year outing organized by us (to be paid for by each individual).
Hours: 10AM-5PM with 1 hour lunch
Suitable for beginners and those wishing to hone their skills.
Tools and primary materials are available on site. The price of primary materials is not included in the class fee and depends on your project(s).

Possibility to register for both groups at a reduced price of 240€.

Weekend Workshop
A two-day course that will introduce you to, or enable you to perfect, methods such as leaded glass, fusing or copper foil.
Leaded Glass is the traditional stained-glass technique made from lead cames and glass. This workshop will enable you to create a stained-glass window measuring approximately 20×20 cm.
Copper foil doesn’t use lead, but an adhesive copper instead, allowing for lighter forms and the creation of three-dimensional pieces.
Fusing is a hot glassworking technique in which the pieces fuse together and can then be thermoformed; this workshop will enable you to create one or more fused pieces (trays, plates, paintings, etc.).
Hours: 10AM-5PM with 1 hour lunch
Suitable for beginners and those wishing to hone their skills.
Tools and primary materials are available on site. The price of primary materials is not included in the course fee and depends on your project.
Terms: 90€* per workshop (to be paid before the workshop date)
*+ annual membership of 25€ to the Terre d’Artistes association (valid from September to the end of August)
“I recommend your classes because of your teaching skills, your ability to adapt to even the craziest of student projects (I can speak from experience), your availability and your kindness.”

“Rose and William Joly patiently and humorously introduce you to the various techniques of stained-glass. Tiffany, leaded glass, fusing, glass painting, you can develop your creativity.
They’ve been helping me with my glass painting, lead and fusing projects since 2022. They know how to adapt the project to our technical skills.
It’s a pleasure to learn!”
