Stained Glass Course

Do you find workshops too limited or not challenging enough anymore? Would you like to start your own stained glass project? Creation or restauration? Come and work at your own pace on your personal stained glass creation.

Throughout the course, you’ll be professionally guided by Charlotte from Atelier Forrier to bring your stained glass project perfectly to life from A to Z.
