The Studio handles both original commissions and restoration work and is equally skillful in religious or secular/commercial objects as well as modern designs with an emphasis on fused glass.

The apprenticeship periods last one or two months according to student's choice (provided the slot is available). Contact us for available space.
The topics covered are listed below.
