A Colorado stained glass studio
Learn stained glass in a real working studio.
Located in Centennial, just south of Denver, Scottish Stained Glass welcomes beginners, returning makers, couples and private groups from throughout the Denver metro and across Colorado. Students learn with professional tools and working stained glass artists in classes limited to six students.
Students join us from Denver, Aurora, Littleton, Parker, Castle Rock and communities throughout the Front Range. Our studio is at 7075 S Alton Way, Unit W, Centennial, CO 80112.
Get directions to the Centennial studioWhere is the studio?
7075 S Alton Way, Unit W, Centennial, CO 80112 — in the south Denver metro. It is our only class studio.
Are beginners welcome?
Yes. Copper Foil Level 1 assumes no experience and starts with cutting, foiling and soldering from scratch.
What does Level 1 cost?
$145 per seat for a 4-hour class, including instruction and every material you need.
Are materials included?
Yes — glass, foil, solder, tools, aprons and safety glasses are all provided. Just bring closed-toe shoes.
How large are classes?
Six students maximum, so you get hands-on time with the instructor throughout the class.
Do you offer private and group sessions?
Yes — half-day, full-day and group experiences for couples, families, friends and teams, scheduled around your dates.
What do students make, and do they keep it?
In Level 1 you build a copper foil suncatcher from scratch and take the finished piece home the same day. Later levels move on to larger panels.
Can couples or groups come together?
Yes. Couples and friends can book seats in the same public class, and private sessions cover families, celebrations and company teams.
