About Sheila

Decades of light, color, and craft.

Sheila has been working in stained glass for decades, with hundreds of studio commissions and thousands of student hours behind her. Her practice blends traditional technique with a modern sensibility for color — the kind of eye that comes only from years spent choosing glass under changing light.

As an instructor, she is warm, patient, and endlessly encouraging. She meets students where they are — whether they've never held a glass cutter or they're returning for their fifth class — and helps them build real skill without ever feeling rushed.

Students consistently describe her as the reason they fell in love with stained glass. Her classes feel less like lessons and more like time spent in a working artist's studio, learning by doing.

Teaching style

Warm, patient, unhurried.

Sheila teaches at a pace that lets the craft settle in. She'll demonstrate a cut, hand you the tool, and stay close while you try — never rushing you, never taking over.

Expect gentle encouragement, honest feedback on your soldering and cutting, and thoughtful color suggestions that make your piece feel unmistakably yours.
